Athletes will be given the opportunity to enter two 100m races on the night. The GAA plans to run the races as "Run with the Wind" i.e. if there is a strong headwind in the homestraight, move the finish line to the backstraight 200m. A decision will be made earlier in the afternoon of the meeting.

The maximum number of athletes at the meeting will be 250. The meeting will run from 6:30pm - 9:00pm. Entries will operate on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis, once the event is full entries will close, so enter quick to avoid missing out. We will aim to operate a waiting list if the events fill up, please inform us if you are unable to compete.

We will also be offering Discus Throw and High Jump at this meet. These events will be limited to one pool of 12 athletes (6 men and 6 womenn for High Jump). Athletes will be given 6 throws in the Discus.The starting height for the female High Jump is 1.35m, men is 1.54m. Height progressions of the competition will be pre-set but are still to be confirmed.
