Alongside the European Athletics DNA match taking place at the Emirates Arena on 5 February, scottishathletics has the opportunity to offer a short programme of events for its youngest members within the main arena before the international match. The top teams from January’s SUPERteams Final have qualified for a place in DNA Kids.
DNA Kids will offer a mixed-team multi-event competition opportunity for athletes aged 9-11. Selected athletes have been invited to compete in DNA Kids within the DNA arena, as well as receiving tickets to watch the afternoon’s international action.
DNA Kids athletes will complete 1 running event (60m), 1 throwing event (shot put) and 1 jumping event (long jump) before participating in a 4x200m relay. Team points will be awarded based on each athlete’s performance in each of the three individual events, with the combined points total determining the team’s standings before the relay. Teams will then be divided into heats and set off at intervals determined by their team score. The more points your team has, the greater your head start. The team finishing in first place in the final relay will be crowned the DNA Kids champions.
Spectators wishing to come along to this event will require a DNA ticket, which can be purchased from the DNA box office online or on the day. Please contact the DNA event organisers for further ticket information.
