4J Annual Awards: Short-lists revealed in five Athlete of Year categories

Tuesday 13th October 2026

Tickets

Our eagerly-awaited 4J Annual Awards are coming up soon in Glasgow.

It is only right and proper that we recognise and celebrate the contribution of volunteers, coaches, clubs and  Officials in Glasgow on Saturday 14 November.

Athletes are centre stage, too, and we are delighted to now reveal the short-lists for five categories for Athlete of the Year accolades.

Tickets are on sale now for the big night at the Hilton Hotel with Scottish track legend, Tom McKean, our Guest of Honour for 2026.

Competition looks certain to be intense in all Athlete of the Year categories with the winners to be chosen by our 4J Awards panels and then announced on November 14.

Congratulations to all our athletes short-listed and to their families, coaches and clubs.

In addition, we have a Commonwealth Games Achievement Award to be presented following Glasgow 2026. This award doesn’t feature a short-list.

Melanie Woods and Jake Wightman won our 4J Athlete of the Year titles in 2025
