Friday night athletics returns to Glasgow again this weekend with another hotly anticipated GAA Miler Meet to be staged at Crownpoint.

The Glasgow Athletics Association are the event organisers with paced races over 800m and 3000m.

And the meet also hosts to our Scottish 3000m Champs at U20 and U17 level with support from the GAA and of course our scottishathletics Officials.

A very full programme will run from a first race at 6.05pm right through to 9.15pm and once again athletes, coaches and clubs in the Scottish endurance community have stepped up in terms of commitment to competition.

There look to be really strong fields in the U20 and U17 age groups as those athletes chase medals.

Final Info

But chasing times will be a priority for many, too, and great to note really strong entries: among the names we notice are Max Abernethy, Andrew McGill, Callum Tharme, Ben Sandilands, Hamish Hickey and Christian Graham in the men’s and Hannah Cameron, Kirsty Walker, Beth Ansell, Stefanie Tucker and Annabel Simpson in the women’s.

Thank you to everyone involved for this support – athletes, coaches, clubs, parents and supporters.

We are all hoping for an exciting evening of athletics in the format that the GAA are looking to keep developing and improving in the seasons ahead.

Thanks, also, in advance to our dedicated team of qualified scottishathletics Officials who will make the event happen. We appreciate your efforts as ever.

Prize Pot:

There is a prize pot for the fastest in each of the men’s and women’s events IF they break the following target times:

800m Men: 1:50.00; Women: 2:05.00

3000m Men: 8:07.00; Women: 9:12.00

If only one athlete achieves the time he or she will claim the full prize pot.

If more than one winner achieves the times it will be split equally (i.e. if two winners break the times they will get half the pot. Up to a maximum of four winning athletes sharing the pot).
