We recommend that as an official rubber-stamp of your race’s quality and safety, the Athletics NI logo is displayed on any flyers or promotional material associated with the race. Many of you already state that your race is run under Athletics NI rules, which is great, however including the logo of the governing body will help to increase awareness and become a recognisable seal of quality.
Please note that "The NIAF" is now rebranded to "Athletics Northern Ireland", and the logo can be obtained on request from marketing@athleticsni.org
