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.

Final declarations will be at 19:00.

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:

​

1500m Men: 3:46.00 Women: 4:18.00
5000m Men: 14:10.00 Women: 16:10.00

​

For example if one male athlete achieves the 1500m time and no male hits the 5,000m time, he
will claim the full £300 pot. If one male athletes hits the 1500m time and one male hits the
5,000m time, the pot will be split equally between the two male athletes.

​

Results

Results will be uploaded to Open Track on the night and published on Power of Ten after the meet.

Photography

Simon Wootton will be on hand to capture the action and will be identified by a green high vis vest.

All photos will be published on the GAA facebook page after the event. 

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.
