MILER MEET
(1,500M & 5,000M)
Date:
Friday 26th July
Time:
1800-2130
Venue:
Crownpoint
Events:
1500m - open to athletes in the U15 age group and older
5,000m - open to athletes in the U20* age group and older
*Over 5000m, U17s at this meeting are required to run in a separate heat. As such, we will only be able to provide an U17 5,000m heat if we have enough athletes to make this viable in the timetable. U17s interested in competing over 5,000m at the July GAA Miler Meet should email: glasgowathleticsassociation@gmail.com to indicate their interest, should this be possible.
Entries:
Entries will open on q-buster on Saturday 29th June at 9am
Entry £12
The total number of potential entries is approximately 120 (8 heats) for 1500m and 100 (5 heats) for 5000m = circa 200 spaces in total for the meeting
Waiting List:
Entries will be issued on a first come, first served basis – once they are gone, the entries are closed – so please enter early to secure your replace - we will (as normal) operate a waiting list and substitute in athletes as a space arises in the relevant heat.
Please contact Robert if you would like to be added to the waiting list robert.hawkins@scottishathletics.org.uk
Pacers:
In order to provide the best quality races, pacemakers will play an important role on the night.
If you are interested in helping athletes achieve a new Personal Best over 1,500m or 5,000m then please get in touch at:

Prize pot:
Additionally, there will be a 'prize pot' available to the overall fastest in each of the men's and women's events, IF they break the following target times:
1,500m Men: TBC Women: TBC
5,000m Men: TBC Women: TBC
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 (January 2025).
Rules (New)
Rule CR18.5:
Unsporting or Improper Behaviour: spitting (or similar) in any area may be treated as a conduct offence and will be dealt with by a warning or disqualification. Athletes Assembly
stewards will remind athletes of this rule prior to leaving for the competition site. Any instances of athletes spitting within the competition area will be reported to the Chief Official or Referee
who will issue the appropriate sanction, which may result in disqualification.
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
