The Scottish East District Championships take place on the weekend of Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May at Pitreavie Stadium, Dunfermline.
For athletes who have been competing regularly in other events, this is a chance to test yourself against the best athletes in the East of Scotland!
Standards
For Scottish Championships, the club will submit entries and will pay the entry fees for athletes, subject to a few conditions.
Athletes should have been competing already this season and have reached the club's minimum entry standard.
The entry standards are a guide for parents/coaches when deciding whether to enter an athlete, to ensure that Scottish Championships are an appropriate level of competition for the athlete.
Events
A provisional timetable and event listing are available below.
As this is a District event with potentially multiple heats and rounds, at which athletes should be focussing on competing in their strongest events and giving their best possible performance, the club will pay for a maximum of two events, and a third event would be chargeable.
Depending on the timetable, it may only be feasible to compete in one or two events, so please check the provisional timetable when considering what events to enter.
U13 and U15 athletes can only compete in one event over 200m, and can do a maximum of two track events. The 800m and 1500m for these age groups will be run as timed finals.
We do recommend that athletes discuss event selection with their coach before entering.
Parent Helpers
Scottish Athletics have requested that each club provides three volunteers to assist the officials at this event.
Please add a note to the availability form if you can help.
