ESAA Virtual Cross-Country Championships 2021
ESAA have now announced a Virtual English Schools Cross Country Championships for this year. In brief, it will require the athlete to run a 2k or 5k course (depending on age group) at a venue that has a measured course already. Park run courses are ideal for this and this will be our suggestion as part of the rules.
English Schools would like to point out that 'Park Run' events are not permitted at the moment and we are only suggesting you might use a park run venue to record your time.
A simple google form allows the athlete to send their times in, along with a verification from a coach or teacher. New Balance will support this event with prizes and merchandise for athletes. This will also be a Virtual County Team event.
