ENGLAND ATHLETICS AND UNAFFILIATED MEMBERS
· Our race is licensed by England Athletics, CC2023/1026, dated 06/11/2023. With the licence approved, we therefore have race insurance. England Athletics require me to advise (post event) whether there were any unaffiliated athletes taking part (i.e. non club members or any runners at clubs not affiliated to EA), therefore please let me know post event such details and I will need the £2 unaffiliated levy payment per runner. Please send this by BACS to me (if you DM me I will send my bank details), confirming by email at racedirectorfr@gmail.com Within a week I would hope to send the final consolidated sum by BACS to England Athletics, so please can you settle in a similar timescale.
