Admissions
We're sorry to have to charge for admission but unfortunately venue hire is becoming increasingly expensive!
Admission is free for athletes, U16s & coaches (holding a valid UKA coaching licence) for everyone else it's £5.
On entry to the track, please pay by card at our admissions table.
Declarations
Declarations will take place in the sports centre (to the left hand side of reception) from 16:30 - 19:45.
We expect you to declare at least one hour before your race is due to start.
Assembly
Assembly will be at the race start 10 minutes before your race is due to start.
The races will start on time - we will not wait for you or come and look for you, it is the athletes responsibility to be there at the right time, warmed up and ready to race!
Prize Pot
There will be a '£400 prize pot' available to the overall fastest in each of the men's and women's races IF they break the following target times:
£400 Men
800m - 1:50
3,000m - 8:05
£400 Women
800 - 2:06
3,000m - 9:15
For example if one male athlete achieves the time he will claim the full £400 prize pot.
If two athletes achieve the time, the pot will be split equally i.e. if two male winners break the times, they will each get £200 each - to a maximum of two athletes sharing the pot.
Presentations
Scottish Athletics 3,000m medals will be awarded to the fastest three in each age group (U18 & U20) regardless of what heat they have been seeded in.
Please make yourself available for presentations at the end of the event should you finish in the top three in your age group.
Rules
All athletes must make themselves familiar with the recently amended World Athletics rules around shoes.
It is the athletes responsibility to ensure compliance with these rules. Visual checks will be mame at the athlete assembly, with any noncompliant shoes being reported to the meeting manager for investigation.
Unsporting or improper behaviour
Spitting (or similar) in any way may be treated as a conduct offence and will be dealt with by a warning of disqualification.
Assembly stewards will remind athletes of this rule.
Any instances of athletes pitting within the competition area will be reported to the chief or referee who will issue the appropriate sanction, which may result in disqualification.
Results
All being well, the results will be uploaded live on Open Track.
A full copy of the results will be sent to Power of Ten after the meet.
Photography
Simon Wootton will be there to capture the evening action.
All photos will be published on the GAA facebook page after the event.
