Commonwealth Games 2022
24 June 2021
Athletics NI are asking aspiring Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022 athletes to formally express their interest in being considered for selection next year.
For the purpose of nominating athletes onto the long list, please submit your expression of interest by 1st September 2021.
Athletes who applied for and were accepted onto the Commonwealth or Olympic Potential Programmes (and have an event in Birmingham 2022) are considered to have expressed their interest already and therefore aren’t required to complete the online form. Those wishing to opt out can contact Jackie Newton or Tom Reynolds.

*Marathon and 10,000m athletes may choose to race at NI road or cross country championships in 2021 or 2022.
