Cross Country & Road Race Permit Procedures
Athletics Northern Ireland aims to provide the highest quality of service to both event organisers and their customers. All races that appear on Athletics NI’s fixture list must be licensed – this helps to maintain event standards and also ensures that if you go to an event you can run in the confidence that they have appropriate knowledge, insurance and medical cover.
From 1st October 2010, races that have been officially measured will be identified on the fixture list by a tick in the appropriate column on the downloadable calendar and by display of Athletics NI’s new Certified Distance Kitemark logo on entry forms and promotional materials. Only races which are identified on the fixtures as certified distance will be eligible for rankings & records consideration. Runners should treat un-certified races as ‘approximate distance’. See link at foot of page for more info.
