THERE is no major championships to qualify for after the postponement until next year of the World Indoors in China due to the coronavirus outbreak but there are still prestigious national titles at stake in the Emirates Arena this weekend.
MEN
Sprints and hurdles
The 60m entries are led by Andrew Robertson, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Oliver Bromby and veteran and former multiple winner Dwain Chambers, who at the age of 41, will be looking to roll back the years.
Eugene Amo-Dadzie, Adam Thomas and Sam Gordon add to a big field of entrants in the short sprint.
David King faces Ethan Akanni and Cameron Fillery in the sprint hurdles, although Andrew Pozzi is one of the big names opting to give the championships a miss.
James Williams, meanwhile, is fastest on paper going into the 400m.
In the 200m, all eyes will be on Andrew Morgan-Harrison after his fast 20.66 win at the BUCS Championships last weekend.
Endurance
Guy Learmonth will hope for another good run on home soil as he tackles the 800m. He faces fellow Scot Josh Kerr and Alex Botterill, while Piers Copeland will hope to build on his 1500m PB in Glasgow last weekend.
UK outdoor champion Spencer Thomas and London Olympic finalist Andrew Osagie are further entries in one of the most intriguing events of the weekend.
In the 1500m, Tom Keen, James McMurray, and George Mills are among those likely to be battling it out for medals, while the 3000m is set to see Jonny Davies, Jamaine Coleman and Phil Sesemann among the main contenders.
Tom Bosworth, meanwhile, heads the entries for the 5000m race walk.
Field events
Scott Lincoln will be one of the biggest favourites of the weekend as he goes for gold in the shot put against Youcef Zatat and Daniel Cork.

Carbon Footprint
You'd have had to have been running on a different planet to miss all the recent debate about carbon-plated shoes. The talk of bans and performance enhancement has been so widespread that even non-runners are asking their running friends about the potentially magical footwear.
Trail time
WHEN looking for a trail or off-road running shoe, itâs often all about the grip. However, given that no two paths are the same, careful consideration is required. Whatâs the terrain like where youâll wear the shoes the most? If youâll be negotiating soft, wet and muddy conditions then look for deeper lugs. For tackling gravel tracks and forest trails then more evenly spaced lugs will work better. When it comes to cushioning, consider how hard the ground will be; if itâs soft then youâll be fine in low-profile shoes, but on those firmer tracks reasonable cushioning will be called for.
Stay neutral
EVOLVING every year, if not month, neutral cushioned shoes are seeing developments in cushioning materials and dynamics at a pace which is nothing short of astonishing. The latest models feature new polymers in the midsoles to give them a cushioned feel while at the same time keeping their weight to a minimum. Give them a spin and choose the most comfortable for mile after mile of shock absorbing running.
Support network
WHEN it comes to âover-pronationâ, a common question is âhow much is over?â. With no hard and fast rules, itâs best to choose a shoe that instinctively feels right. Gait analysis can often assist in helping you make this choice and your specialist running store is always a good place to start if in doubt. To help you make that choice, hereâs a selection of some of the best âsupportâ shoes around.
Need for speed
THE racing shoe segment of the market is becoming somewhat split. This is partially due to the rise of carbon-plated footwear but also the fact that many shoes are becoming much lighter. Here we take a look at some of the leading contenders to toe the line in.
Gadget show
WITH technological products to enhance every area of life, running is now no different. From headphones to treadmills, the devices to aid performance and recovery are endless. Here we take a look at some of the latest gadgets and gizmos to enhance your training.
