Did you hear the bell? We’re very much into the last lap for entries for one of the biggest weekends of the track and field season – at Grangemouth in August.
The Eric Liddell 131st Senior Championships will take place at Grangemouth over the weekend of Saturday 17 August and Sunday 18 August.
Entries close on Thursday of this week at 5pm.
It promises to be a really exciting event and we would urge athletes, coaches and clubs to make this the key goal for the season – and enter now.
Our programme that weekend will include the Eric Liddell Senior Champs, the Eric Liddell U17 Championships, the Eric Liddell U20 5000m Championships and Para events.
