Commissions
The Commissions have a clear and important purpose – to oversee the day to day operation of their specialist discipline within athletics across Scotland, and in practice to do that in close conjunction and co-operation with the staff team who are working in that area. The Commissions have a particular focus on events, event delivery, and the calendar of events, especially at national level.
The Commissions are:
Hill and Trail Running Commission
Convenor: Helen Fallas
Working closely with partner organisation Scottish Hill Runners, the Hill and Trail Running Commission leads on the planning, delivery and review of all hill running and trail running activities delivered by scottishathletics, and on international selection and representation. There are close links to the UKA Mountain and Trail Strategy Group.
