1500M & 5,000M

Date:

Friday 26th July 

​

Time:

1800-2130

​

Venue:

Crownpoint

​

Events:

1500m (U15 athletes and over)

5,000m (U20 athletes and over) 

​

Please note: Over 5,000m, U17s at this meeting are required to run in a separate heat. As such, we will only be able to provide an U17 3000m heat if we have enough athletes to make this viable in the timetable. U17s interested in competing over 5,000m at the GAA Miler Meet should email: glasgowathleticsassociation@gmail.com to indicate their interest (should this be possible).

Entry: 

Online entry only - £12  

The total number of potential entries is approximately

120 (8 heats) for 1500m

100 (5 heats) for 5000m

= circa 200 spaces in total for the meeting.

​

Entries open on q-buster Wednesday 26th June at 09:00.

​

Waiting List:

We have added a new waiting list option

on q-buster.

We aim to get as many people a run as possible but if for whatever reason this is not possible, we will refund your entry (up to the week of the event). 

​

Withdrawals:

We would like to add as many athletes as possible from the waiting list so please let us know if you are no longer able to compete.   

Prize Pot:

Additionally, there will be a £400 'prize pot' available to the overall fastest in each of the men's and women's events IF they break the following target times:

1500m Men: 3:45.00   Women: 4:15.00
5000m Men:  14:15.00  Women: 16:15.00

If only one athlete achieves the time he or she will claim the 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).

​

Pacemakers:

As always, this job is crucial to the success of the meet and we are keen to add to our pacemaking stable. So, if you feel you would like to help athletes achieve a new PB, then please get in touch, whether this event or in fututre.
