Top athletes converge on the Emirates Arena on Sunday evening as we stage our first-ever EAP Indoor International.
Visitors from across Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland are lined up and there will be a strong Scottish cohort, too.
With around 1350 tickets sold for Sunday evening – the programme runs from 6pm to 9pm – we fully expect a warm Scottish welcome for our guests.
World Athletics have given the event Challenger status and the start-list includes Olympic medallists, a Paralympic champion and National Champions and Record holders.
All the info around the EAP Indoor International is on our Event section page and we ask those coming along to read that detail.

In terms of the Scottish connection, the men’s long jump should be one of the top events to watch.
Paralympic champion Joel de Jong is among the visitors and home hopes will rest with the talented trio of Stephen Mackenzie, Alessandro Schenini and Murray Fotheringham.
Alyson Bell, Adam Thomas and Zoey Clark are listed for sprint events and Kane Elliott looks to lead home hopes in the men’s 1500m.
The women’s 800m, men’s 1500m and men’s 5000m are paced races. The women’s 800m will feature Sarah Calvert, Hannah Cameron and Jill Cherry as well as other Scots.
In each of the events, there will be EAP prize-money for the top three (in finals).
