Up & Running South Yorkshire Cross Country League
Registration 2022
- Numbers are £8 each and should be retained for all the races.
- Numbers for Under 17 Men and Women will be of a distinct style and colouring to allow for easy identification during a race. Note: Ensure that U17 runners are not issued with one of your issued numbers, but are listed in the lower grid on the form. The league secretary will advise of the numbers allocated to your U17s, and they will be available for collection at the venue.
- All entries are to be made on the official club registration form, which will be emailed to club contacts in September. The associated instructions will explain how to complete the registration form and initial registration details must be emailed, to the address in the instructions, the Monday of the week prior to the first event.
We accept that the form may not be complete, as numbers will no doubt be issued right up to the time of each race.
We therefore welcome amendments prior to the events though the final update, containing details of all who have competed for the club, should be emailed before 5pm on the day of a fixture, with the exception of the final fixture and championships, for which details are below.
Entries on paper or not on the official form will not be accepted.
Entries for Under 17 Men and Women will be made separately and numbers will be allocated by the league Secretary once names have been received. - For the final meeting / Championships additions must be emailed before 5pm on the Friday preceding the fixture.
There will be no entry on the day. - Additional numbers for clubs may be obtained from the League Secretary.
- Guest competitors should contact the League Secretary

Veterans Over 35, 45, 55, 65, 70 for Men and Women on the day of competition (date of first race for individual awards). And 75, 80 etc as numbers of runners allow for meaningful competition.
