London Marathon Entries
If you are interested in running the London Marathon but do not succeed at the ballot then don’t despair. Yet. Each year the Club receives 1 or 2 guaranteed places and our own ballot for those who failed through the main ballot takes place during Christmas and New Year.
Scottish Athletics Affiliation
Gala Harriers as a club are affiliated to Scottish Athletics Ltd (SAL). You can also affiliate as an individual which currently costs £13 per year.
Participation in the East District and National cross country races and other SAL organised events then you need to become a member as an individual. Becoming a member will then save you £2 on the entry fee to most SAL events.
