Peter Kennedy from the BMAF has just confirmed the following details regarding the indoor meeting at Sheffield on 26/1/25.


Dear Masters Athletes,

 

The priority we gave to those who previously expressed interest in the event has now ended. There has been a good response with 200 entries to date, but there are still slots available in the open events:



60m, 200m, 800m, 2000m Race Walk, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Shot, High Jump, and 4 x 200m relays.

There is no limit on championship entries for Pentathlon and 3000m.

 


We need a large turnout to make it financially viable and we need to prove this is possible this year in order to assure its future. 

The facilities there are superb and there is nothing comparable within 160 miles. If all goes well, then we can be sure as we can be to continue with it each year therefter.
