The Dynamic New Athletics event taking place in Glasgow on Saturday 5th February is a fun, brand new innovative, team based competition created by European Athletics.

With modified rules, whilst remaining true to the essence of athletics, the event will include:

  • Mixed gender teams.
  • A compact programme of interchangeable disciplines .
  • Head-to-head competition in the field events with every attempt counting towards the team match score.
  • Team match results remain open and unpredictable until the final competition discipline

Welsh Athletics are excited to announce a strong and competitive team heading up to Glasgow to compete in the DNA event. The selected athletes will be competing against teams from England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain and Turkey as they attempt to become crowned champions!
