The demand from athletes for competition through the coming winter is anticipated to be quite high but as the season approaches the likelihood of cross country or road races held in the usual, popular competitive format is diminishing.

As an alternative we are recommending that Clubs and Competition Providers investigate the possibility of promoting further track events.  Whilst it will continue to be necessary to apply the Covid-19 guidance to all events, it will be possible to licence those events through the usual Home Country Association processes.

With this in mind, it should be noted that any outdoor track and field competitions taking place after 31^st October revert to age groups calculated on the 31^st August in the new competition year.

For further guidance please contact your Home Country Athletics Federation.
