Declaring for Your Club
To declare for the National Championships, you must enter all your details on the KBC Dublin Marathon entry system exactly as your membership details in the Athletics Ireland registration system. These details, that YOU enter, will be automatically checked against the Athletics Ireland registration system. Athletes personal details on the KBC Dublin marathon website are NOT editable. Consequently, it may be necessary to amend YOUR Athletics Ireland registration details. Providing your details match, your club name will then appear beside your name on the KBC Dublin marathon entry. If these details don't match, your club name will NOT appear
Membership details will be automatically checked against the Athletics Ireland membership system, to verify an individual athlete's membership. Please ensure that your own personal details are correct. Your name MUST match your Athletics Ireland registration name (e.g. you register for the Marathon as 'Dave', while your Athletics Ireland registration is 'David'). You will need to contact your club if you need any personal information to be updated.
Please contact Your Club if you require access to your Athletics Ireland membership number.
Your CLUB must have affiliated with Athletics Ireland for 2020, in order for individual athletes to be able to register as an Athletics Ireland member.
Possible Name Problems
Looking at the registrations, there are lots of pitfalls. For example, many names appear to have been 'missplet' when entering: ")'C....", then there is " C", with the space before the C. Variations on O', Ó, and O, along with Mc, Mc , Mac, and any permutation you like among those.
Forenames: Is it Abbey, Abbie, Abbie, Abbie, Abby, Abaigeal, Abbie, Abie, Abigail, Abbey, Abbie, Abigail, Abbie, Abigail, Abi, Abiageal, Abby, Abbigail, Abigail?
If the details don't match then you're in trouble. Best option, for peace of mind, is to ask your Club Registrar, or whoever looks after registrations in the club, to send you a copy of what's there including your "Life Registration Number". Please DON'T look for someone else's details - everyone's personal details are...personal details...and may NOT be disclosed under GDPR regulations.
