800M & 3,000M

Date:

Friday 31st May

​

Time:

1830-2130

​

Venue:

Crownpoint

​

Events:

800m (U15 athletes and over)

3,000m (U17 athletes and over) 

​

Please note: Over 3000m, U15s at this meeting are required to run in a separate heat. As such, we will only be able to provide an U15 3000m heat if we have enough athletes to make this viable in the timetable. U15s interested in competing over 3000m at the GAA Miler Meet should email: glasgowathleticsassociation@gmail.com to indicate their interest (should this be possible).

Entry: 

Online entry only - £12  

​

The total number of potential athletes is approximately 100 (in the 800m) 100 (in the 3000m)

= 200 spaces in the meeting.

​

Entries will open on q-buster on Saturday 4th May at 9am! 

​

Waiting List:

These will be issued on a first come, first served basis – once they are gone, the entries are closed – so please enter early to secure your replace - we will (as normal) operate a waiting list and substitute in athletes as a space arises in the relevant heat.

​

Please email  robert.hawkins@scottishathletics.org.uk if you wish to be added. 

​

Withdrawals:

We would like to add as many athletes as possible from the waiting list so please let us know if you are no longer able to compete.   

Prize Pot:

Additionally, there will be a £650 'prize pot' available to the overall fastest in each of the men's and women's events IF they break the following target times:

800m Men: 1:51.00     Women: 2:06.00
3000m Men: 8:10.00    Women: 9:10.00

If only one athlete achieves the time he or she will claim the 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, etc - to a maximum of four winning athletes sharing the pot).

If no one achieves the prize pot standards, then the money will roll over (again) and be added to the pot for the next GAA Miler Meet (26th July).

​

Pacemakers:

As always, this job is crucial to the success of the meet and we are keen to add to our pacemaking stable. So, if you feel you would like to help athletes achieve a new PB, then please get in touch, whether this event or in fututre.
