Classification

Classification is a vital part of disability athletics to ensure fair competition. All athletes who have received an appointment time are required to be classified in order to compete at Crystal Palace. We have worked with IPC to ensure that this can happen in London in conjunction with the UKA Disability Athletics Challenge.

This is a great opportunity for athletes to be seen by the IPC Panel and we are very pleased to welcome two full IPC Panels to the UK for this competition.

The classifiers need to see athletes at their appointment time and also in competition. A small number of athletes have received information asking to be seen in competition on Saturday morning. This is due to the numbers involved in this competition and to ensure that the classifiers have a chance to see every athlete in competition. This event will take place at:

·         Norman Park Athletics Track, Norman Park, Hayes Lane, Bromley, BR2 9EF

You should have received your classification information which includes your appointment time. The information is as follows:

Venue:                 PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE
