Sprints/hurdles GAA Gala on July 27

Monday 11th July 2016

The Glasgow Athletics Association are to stage a first Sprint Gala on Wednesday 27 July.

This is taking place only a couple of weeks before the Scottish Senior/U17 Champs at Grangemouth and the Age Groups the following weekend.

Entries should be made online and will close on July 23.

The total number of potential athletes is around 200 spaces in the meeting, running from 7pm – 9pm. These will be issued on a first come, first served basis.

The GAA will be offering a Prize Pot on the night to the overall fastest in each of the men’s and women’s events IF they break the following target times:
