Up & Running South Yorkshire Cross Country League<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Registration 2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Numbers are \u00a310<\/strong> each (as at the 2025 season) and should be retained for all the races.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Numbers for Under 18 Men and Women will be of a distinct style and colouring to allow for easy identification during a race. Note: Ensure that U18 runners are not given one of your standard issued numbers, but are listed in the lower grid on the form. The league secretary will advise of the numbers allocated to your U18s and they will be issued with your initial allocation. More can be collected at the venue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 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<\/strong>, with the exception of the final fixture and championships, for which details are below.

    Entries on paper or not on the official form<\/strong> will not be accepted.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • For the final meeting \/ Championships additions must be emailed before 5pm on the Friday preceding the fixture<\/strong>.
    There will be no entry on the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Additional numbers for clubs may be obtained from the League Secretary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Guest competitors should contact the League Secretary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
