Major Cross-Country Changes Decided at AAI AGM
The Athletic Ireland Annual General Meeting was held in the Crowne
Plaza Hotel, Santry, on Saturday April
Major changes to emerge include:
- The National Inter-club Cross-Country Championships
move to November
- The National Junior and Senior Inter-Club Cross-Country
Championships will replace the Intercounties as the selection race for
the European Cross Country, with the senior men’s race shortened to
10,000m.
- A National 4,000m Short Course Cross-Country
Championships will be reintroduced
- The National Inter-Counties Cross-Country Championships
will now take place in the New Year
- The entire cross-country season will be completed by
mid-February.
- The Juvenile U-19 age group is abolished
- There will be a National Cross-Country Club League,
taking in the Novice, Intermediate, Senior and Masters races
These changes will have "knock-on" implications for Munster and Cork
County events, both in terms of the events themselves, and also the
scheduling of events, and the entire fixtures calendar.
