national masters and intermediate cross country championships 2022

 

Athletics Ireland is implementing changes to Entries for the National Intermediate & Masters Cross-Country Championships, as passed bt the 2014 Congress. As a result, Counties will no longer need to formally enter teams, as the first (applicable number of) scorers for the event/team across the finish line will constitute the relevant Club or County team

 

Motion 41 2014 Congress

41. THAT: the race day management for some National Cross Country Championship events (and other events, if applicable) is simplified by abolishing the need to declare specific teams on the day, and adopting a policy whereby the first given number of athletes over the line are the scoring athletes for their club and/or county teams

 

Entries

What this means is that all entries will be made by individuals, or their club, and county teams will comprise of the combined club entries, and counties will not, as previously, be declaring teams

Entry Link

NB: You will be unable to complete the entry process unless you are Registered for 2022

 

Cork Athletes Registered with Non-Cork Clubs

Any athlete registered with a club in another county, who intends running, should text or email Cork Athletics Competition Secretary Ina Killeen 0868591522 [Please Text ONLY], so that we can ensure that they appear on the Cork declarations
