Date & Venue – Secondary Schools

Proposed date – Saturday 1st February 2025 (TBC)

Entry Information – Secondary Schools

There is no advanced entry system in place.

All athletes that wish to run will arrive on the day, take a number from the main desk and scan a QR code that lets them input their details (age group/emergency contact/school/PE teacher in charge of XC) and they will then be entered.

All spellings and information added is the entrants responsibility and can not be corrected later. Athletes will require a mobile phone or smart device to enter. Entrants can receive an email confirming their entry to their device.

It is still a requirement of entry that a member of staff from the entrants school is present to manage the school team. The event team will not be able to locate or help find school staff or assist in other matters.

Medical cover is provided in the event of emergencies but all other staff should bring their standard medical kit for the event.

Sadly the 2021 County Championships were cancelled due to the Covid-19 corona virus pandemic

Due to the Local Councils concerns over Health and Safety and the worries about parking due to ice and the impact on the ground due to the races, the Council have requested that:

THE 2019 HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPS WERE CALLED OFF

Unfortunately the 2014 Hertfordshire Athletics Championships were cancelled by the local District Council due to the ground being unsafe to run on.
