First-ever SprintFastest event enjoyed an electric start in Grangemouth

Over a thousand spectators gathered to watch athletes from across the country battle it out in 100m races across age groups from U11 to U20. The event delivered exactly what it promised: speed, excitement, inspiration, and an opportunity for young people and families to experience elite-style athletics in an accessible, welcoming environment.

Entry was free for under-16s and families experiencing financial hardship, ensuring that cost was never a barrier to enjoying the day.

Alongside the races, attendees enjoyed music, face painting, bouncy castle, cheerleaders, food stalls and a family-friendly atmosphere that kept the stadium buzzing throughout.
