Prize pot:
Additionally, there will be a £650 'prize pot' available to the overall fastest in each of the men's and women's events, IF they break the following target times:
800m Men: 1:51.00 Women: 2:06.00
3000m Men: 8:10.00 Women: 9:10.00
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 half the pot, etc - to a maximum of four winning athletes sharing the pot).
If no one achieves the prize pot standards, then the money will roll over (again) and be added to the pot for the next GAA Miler Meet (28th July).
