Expressions of Interest- BMAF Masters Cross Country International Belfast
07/08/2024 00:00, In Blog /
Welsh Athletics will be selecting Welsh Teams to compete at the BMAF Masters Cross Country International taking place in Belfast on Saturday 16th November 2024.
Welsh Team Selectors will meet in the middle of October to review cross country performances, primarily from the following events:
- Gwent League
- North Wales Cross Country League
The selectors will also take into consideration other relevant performances including results from:
- Cardiff 10k (1/9)
- Swansea 10k (15/9)
- Helena Tipping 10k (21/7)
- Caernarfon 10km (18/8).
- 2024 Welsh Cross Country Champs Masters International in Glasgow
- BMAF Championships Rhug.
We are keen to hear results from athletes not involved in either the Gwent or North Wales cross country leagues. We will give priority to cross country performances over road performances. Teams will be selected in the middle of October.
Whilst thepowerof10 website is a fantastic resource for collecting performances, it doesn’t always identify when athletes are eligible to represent Wales, and some of the obscure races are also missed, so we would be grateful if you would let us know of any key performances that you have achieved that may help the selectors in choosing the best teams.
As usual we are also keen to know about any new Masters. It is particularly difficult to spot those athletes who are approaching Masters stage, so if you have any athletes within your club who you feel may be good enough and interested in representing their country, then let us know some details or pass on our contact details to them.
There are teams of 6 men for the M35. 40, 45, & 50 and teams of 4 men for the 55, 60, 65, 70 & 75+ age groups. For the women it is teams of 4 for all age groups: 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 & 75+.
Athletes are expected to make and fund their own travel and accommodation arrangements for Belfast. All athletes representing Wales for the first time are entitled to a free Welsh vest and are entitled to purchase a kit package.
