The Scottish National Athletics League provides quality track and field competition for Under 18, Under 20, Senior and Masters athletes. The second match of the 2026 season is on Sunday 31 May at Grangemouth and I am keen to get a good turnout from Central’s athletes.
The format for 2026 will include league and team competition across the age groups and sexes and opportunity to compete in a series of graded events. Central AC will not be involved in other track and field league competition during 2026 for these age groups.
The remaining dates and venues are as follows:
- Sunday 31 May – Grangemouth
- Sunday 5 July – Aberdeen
Due to the Commonwealth Games there will not be a fourth fixture this year.
The intended timetable for 31 May is in the PDF below
This meeting allows for Track competition for 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, Mile, 100m/110m Hurdles, 400m Hurdles, and Field competition for Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Shot Put, Discus and Hammer. There will be sufficient qualified officials and automatic timing to ensure that performances will be shown on Power of 10 and can be used for international selection.
Central AC are required to provide helpers – three at each match and these personnel could change between morning and afternoon.
The names of athletes along with 2025 (or later) personal bests and Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be submitted by Friday 22 May. Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be up to date and will be subject to scrutiny. There are no individual fees for competing as the competing clubs will cover these costs.
Should you be interested in being considered for competition on 31 May, please contact Kenny Pearson by Wednesday 20 May at the latest (kennethwgpearson@googlemail.com), with details of preferred event and with any offers of assistance.
This is a great opportunity for some quality competition and to improve your personal bests, or even try a new event.
A similar email will be sent for the final event.
All the best
Kenny
