KEEP ON RUNNING’ SOUTH YORKSHIRE CROSS COUNTRY LEAGUE

REGISTRATION 2011

  • Numbers are £6 each and should be retained for all the races.

  • Under 17 Men and Women should mark their numbers with a coloured diagonal to assist marshals in making sure they run the correct distance.

  • Registration sheets with lists of competitors should be handed to the League Secretary during the first League meeting. Additions can be made at subsequent meetings – with full details on the appropriate sheet.

  • Please refer to the information sheet attached to the registration sheets.

  • At the final meeting and Championships additions must be made before the start of the competition so that results can be worked out promptly. Team results will not be adjusted to include athletes who are not registered in time.

  • Additional numbers for clubs may be obtained from the League Secretary.
