Declarations:
We expected you to declare at least one hour before your event - final declarations at 1930
Assembly:
Assembly will be at 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 looking for you, it is your responsibility to be there on time.
Photofinish:
Could all coaches and athletes be very aware that for the electronic timing to function we have photo finish in operation at the finish line. While we're keen that athletes get the opportunity to warm up as early as possible, it is crucial that athlete do not run through the line while a race is in process as this can disrupt the photo finish system and cause havoc on results.
Prize pot:
Additionally, there will again be a £250 'prize pot' available to the overall fastest in each of the men's and women's events, IF they break the following target times:
10,000m Men - 29.40
10,000m Women - 34.10
If only one athlete achieves the time he or she will claim the total 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 £125 each).
If no one achieves the prize pot standards, then the money will roll over and be added to the pot for the next GAA Miler Meet (2nd June).
Withdrawals / Reserve List:
Any athlete who is no longer able to compete must let us know as soon as possible – we are currently employing a reserve list and athletes on there are keen to get a run if possible.
Admissions:
There will be no limit to spectators on the night, however in order to make life easier for our overstretched administration team, we’re asking spectators to please register online in advance of the event.
