Enter now for Scottish 5K Champs

The Scottish 5K Champs are being held in Edinburgh early in May at the Run and Become Self Transcendence race.
Silverknowes on the Forth coastline is the venue once again for an event which has a reputation for a flat course and helping deliver a number of PB performances.
This year, the event is on a Friday evening in early May – Friday 5 May – and it will host the Scottish 5K Champs with medals up for grabs for teams, U20s and Masters athletes.
Entries are open and already starting to fill up so please make sure you take the opportunity to compete in what is always a very popular event.
The race is part of the Scottish Road Race Grand Prix series, where performances in five events can land athletes A or B shares of a prize pot if they run under certain time standards.
GB cross country international Maddie Murray broke the Scottish 5K Champs course record at Silverknowes last year and Mark Mitchell won his first road race title, to add to others in track and cross country.

FOUR OUT OF FOUR! A great day in Boras at the U20 European Champs, with four of the #AwesomeEight in action, and all four successfully moving through to their next rounds. SARAH CALVERT went straight through to the 800m semi-final after winning her heat in 2:06.72. That was followed up by ERIN WALLACE who booked a 1500m final slot with a 4:27.64 run for 4th place in her round. Then, in the men’s long jump, STEPHEN MACKENZIE and ALESSANDRO SCHENINI jumped 7.30 and 7.21 respectively, earning themselves places in the final tomorrow afternoon. Congratulations to athletes and coaches alike – brilliant to see them stepping up, undaunted, to this level of competition. In addition to the long jump final and Sarah’s 800m semi final, tomorrow (Friday) will see PRAISE OLATOKE in his 200m qualifying round, and ELOISE WALKER in the opener of the 3000m.
