Events:

3,000m (inc. the Scottish Athletics U17 & U20 Championships)

800m

First of all, the Glasgow Athletics Association would like to thank the Scottish endurance
community for (once again) reaching capacity in the 800m and also the 3000m.
This is another outstanding response and the clubs, coaches, parents and athletes who have
taken this opportunity should be congratulated for their support of this key endurance fixture
in Scotland.
We are all hoping for a exciting evening of athletics in the format that we will look to keep
developing and improving in the seasons ahead.

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 - as we are always thinking ahead to future GAA Miler Meet fixtures
(outdoors and indoors).

Declarations
We expect you to declare at least one hour before your event and final declarations will be at
20:00.

Assembly
Assembly will be at relevant 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 your
responsibility to be there at the right time, ready to check in and ready to race.

Photo finish
Could all spectators, coaches and athletes be very aware that for the electronic timing to
function we have photo finish in operation at the finishing line. While we are keen that
athletes get the opportunity to warm up as easily as possible on the track, it is crucial that
athletes do not run through the line while a race is in process as this can disrupt the photo
finish system and cause problems with the results.

Prize Pot
Additionally, there will be a 'prize pot' of £300 for males and females available to the overall
fastest in each of the men's and women's events IF they break the following target times:

800m Men: 1:50.00 Women: 2:05.00
3000m Men: 8:07.00 Women: 9:12.00

For example if one male athlete achieves the 800m time and no male hits the 3,000m time, he
will claim the full £300 pot. If one male athletes hits the 800m time and one male hits the
3,000m time, the pot will be split equally between the two male athletes.

Rules (Highlighted)
Rule CR18.5 and TR7 S2
Spitting (or similar) in warm up, call room, competition or any other public area may be
regarded as acting in an unsporting or improper manner and treated as a conduct offence and
will be dealt with by a warning or disqualification (yellow card and / or red card offence).
The Event Referee will determine whether a yellow or red card is shown. This determination
may apply a red card where spitting directly towards an individual or persistent spitting but
yellow for less serious offences. Athletes should be aware that different interpretations may
apply from event to event. Warnings or disqualifications under this rule cannot be appealed as
the Referee's decision is final (Rule TR8 S1(2)(iii)). See also Rule CR18.5.
Rule T5: All athletes must make themselves familiar with the recently amended World
Athletics rules around shoes available here and here (go to ‘manuals and guidelines’). It is
the athlete’s responsibility to ensure compliance with these rules. Visual checks will be made
at Athlete Assembly, with any non-compliant shoes being reported to the Meeting Manager
for further investigation.

currently employing a reserve list and athletes on there are keen to get a run if possible.
