This means clubs should register any athlete who they may wish to attend on their entry, as their final teams will be selected from this list.

All clubs are limited to a maximum of 2 teams per age group per event. If a club wishes to enter more than 2 teams per age group in a particular event, please contact us ahead of the closing date on events@scottishathletics.org.uk to register your interest.  Additional teams will be allocated following the closing date, if space allows.
