Entry procedure

Entry for this event is by a district competition or nomination by your school to the district coordinator.

The names of all entered athletes will appear on the website from 9th-18th December 2019.

Districts may make adjustments to their team lists during this time.

No entries will be made after 18th December 2019.

All athletes should check their entry and if there is an issue, should contact their school P.E department in the first instance.

It is expected that eligible athletes will be proactive in ensuring they have been entered by the stated deadline.

No new entries will be allowed on the day of competition. If in doubt about your entry please check with your district co-ordinator before travelling.

Cars are parked at owners’ risk. Neither the school or KSAA accept any responsibility.

The course will be really suited to spikes/studs, as totally on grass.

Loop B includes most of Loop A, and Loop C includes most of A and B.

The course has to fit in around the schools pitches, and so it may be necessary to change parts of the course, especially the Start and Finish if ground conditions require.
