We’re delighted to announce that the scottishathletics Event Specific Series is to make a return for Summer 2021.
Based on feedback from our Athlete Survey, we have made some changes to the format for 2021 to ensure it meets the requirements of those competing.
Key features will include:
Included in the Event Specific Series are all scottishathletics championships and we are delighted to confirm that all Championships are scheduled to take place as planned, with the exception of the Senior 10,000m Track Championships.
Following discussions with the Track & Field Commission a suitable date and venue for this event could not be identified.
The Championships season will kick off on Friday 4 June with the U17 and U20 3000m Championships in Glasgow hosted by the Glasgow Athletics Association.
National Events Manager Alasdhair Love said: ‘League format in the traditional sense is unable to happen this summer due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘With the success of virtual events over the last 12 months in not only road running but also SUPERteams for our youngest athletes and the Together Apart District concept, we feel now is an ideal opportunity to relaunch the innovative competition format for clubs to compete and compare their strength on a national level through utilising local competition opportunities.”
