Markinch Highland Games [Sunday 7th June]
RUNNING EVENTS DETAILS.
Markinch is always a popular early season meeting among the athletes.
The 300 metre track in John Dioxn Park [although slightly undulating] is always immaculately prepared and laid out.
The 90m sprint events are run on the only string-laned 'Chariots of Fire type track on the Highland games circuit.
It's also a great opportunity for competitors to put early season points on the board in both the RSHGA and Fife Leagues.
Open Events
Seven events 90m-200m - 400m - 800m - 1600m- 3200m
Ladies 90m
All have 6 minetary prizes
£7 covers all events which inludes cost of stamp to send tickets
Youth events
With 5 events Markinch caters well for the Youth runners.
90m - 200m - 40m - 800m - 1600m
Again 6 orizes in each event keeper trophies for the winners of the 200and 400 as well as the prestigeous Markinch Ibrox Boys Shield which goes to the overall points winner on the day.
The latter award commemorates the memory of the 5 Markinch boys who lost their lives in the 1971 Ibrox Disaster.
Last year it was awarded to Luca Anderson who later this month will represent Scotland in the London Mini Marathon.
A total of 100 points available over the RSHGA and Fife leagues
£5 covers all events which includes cost of stamp to send tickets
