Teams must field no more than the permitted number. Entries of more than one team in an age group must be marked as “A”, “B” etc in the club name i.e. “City of Lisburn A” etc. Switches for teams may be made between pre-entered athletes on the day (no new entries). For age groups up to U20, all members of a team must be in the same age group race.

Please note U13 & U15 age groups are held under UKA Age Group rules (age on 31st August 2021) For U17 and up, age groups are under World Athletics rules (age on 31st December 2022). For those in the British Cross Challenge, the prizes will be calculated under the UKA Age Groups, as the U17 and U20 races are held together to allow for this.

Anti Doping & Media:

All athletes and athlete support personnel are bound by UKA/IAAF Anti Doping Rules (which can be found on the UKA website www.uka.org.uk). In particular, athletes should ensure that they register any use of prescribed medication containing prohibited substances prior to any use or (in emergency cases) immediately after use.

By entering you acknowledge that drug testing will be in operation for relevant races at this event. If entering athletes (who are under the age of 18 on the day of event) in U20 or senior open categories, you will be required to submit individual parental consent in case they are selected for testing. It is not normal practice to target U18s for testing, but if their performance merits it, it would not be fair to test some athletes and not others. Consent form is available for sending upon request from Athletics NI or to download CLICK HERE

By entering you confirm you have made guardians of any children/vulnerable adult athletes aware that photography/film footage containing their image may be used by ANI and partners. Media queries/special arrangements & exemption requests to be sent to alan@athleticsni.org.
