All BMC Grand Prix races will be paced to a high standard. To supplement this some races designated as international races we will aim to have exceptional quality competition with invited international athletes of a high standard and top domestic competitors.

As the first two fixtures are before the UK trials for the European Championships and we will be concentrating the international races on these meetings.

For the 29th May event at Sport City we will have selected international races depending on the interest from UK competitors. (See this website for the latest news.)

At the Watford meeting on 12th June the 800m and 1500m races for both men and women will be international races and the longer distances will also be targeted as quality races.

The BMC has set a target for overseas athletes to have achieved to be invited to the International races.

Event	Men "A" Target	Women "A" Target
800m	1:46	2:00
1500m	3:36	4:07

The BMC prize money structure will apply to these races
