‘I am delighted to be Guest of Honour for the 4J Annual Awards for scottishathletics and jogscotland this year,’ said Liz.

‘It is an event to celebrate and support all that is good in our sport and key to the night is recognising volunteers in the sport in various roles at clubs as coaches and Officials.

‘These are the people who make the sport happen in Scotland on a weekly basis and help deliver the structure which allows athletes to progress and develop,

‘I think in many ways it has been a brilliant year for the Scottish ‘pathway’

‘We look at the World Indoors and the Olympics and see examples but there are others across other disciplines, age groups and Para athletics.

‘So many of our top athletes came through that pathway and I think it is really important that we celebrate that and thank all those involved. I am expecting a great night in October and really looking forward to my visit.

Liz will also feature in a Q and A session in the afternoon during our Natioanl Club Conference.

‘Earlier on the same day, I will be involved in a Q and A at the National Club Conference.

‘Again, these club folk are the stalwarts of the sport and I anticipate great conversations that day as clubs share good practice and learning – with building on the momentum in athletics in Scotland very much in mind.

‘I am really looking forward to attending both events and having the chance to meet people.’
