Dear Parents and Guardians,

The National Juvenile Inter Club Relays (U11/U13/U15 Age Groups) and National Juvenile Mixed Relays (U12/U14/U17 Age Groups) will be held on Sunday 18^th October at Abbottstown Cross Country Course commencing at 11am.

They form part of an exciting day of Cross Country action alongside the Autumn Open International Cross Country and the National Senior Mixed Cross Country Relays.

This is a great opportunity for athletes to compete in the National Championships and has proved to be a really enjoyable day for everyone - we look forward to fielding teams across all age groups again this year.

· U13 (Born 2014) – Girls & Boys 4 x 500m

Relays are a Team Event - last minute withdrawals put the full team at risk of not competing.

As always, relay teams are selected by coaches. If you are selected and commit to a relay team, please ensure that you make yourself available on the day of the competition. It is a Team event and if an athlete withdraws at the last minute, their teammates are unlikely to be able to compete.

Please do not commit if you are not available.

Coaches will be gathering Expressions of Interest via ClubZap - so if your athlete is interested in being considered and available to take part – please keep an eye out for the direct communication from Coaches.

· U10 (born 2017 – U10’s can step up to U11)
