Enter now for Age Group Champs

Friday 24th June 2016

The Age Group Champs are being staged in Grangemouth for 20126 – and we want as many young athletes as possible to make that the target for the season.

Entries are open online until July 24 with the Champs for four age groups split over two weekends.

The Scottish U17 Champs will be within the Senior Champs programme on the weekend of August 13/14 at Grangemouth.

And the Age Group Champs U20/U15/U13 are over two days the following weekend – August 20/21.

Competition should be what you train for and we’ve been delighted with the response from athletes, coaches, parents and clubs over the past couple of years to the Age Group Champs.

Four years ago, Laura Muir was among the U20 medallists at the Age Groups as she won the 1500m title and took a bronze in the 400m final.

The World Champs finalist is a Diamond League regular and, while she was in Stockholm last week, she did a brief video post to urge young athletes to enter the Age Groups at Grangemouth.
