leo mahonJan 19 2011, 9:30pmA trial race for the British and Irish juniors will be incorporated in the World championships trial race on Sat. 13 Aug.2011 to be held in Wicklow venue to be decided. The selection policy

All selection is subject to the athlete being capable of finishing within 5% of the trial winners time and 15% of the international race winners time. only athletes who meet the criteria will be selected this means that teams may not be sent categories under 18 [born 1993/1994], under 16 [born 1995/1996].

Leo MahonAug 4 2011, 8:12pmThe profiles for the under 16 and 18 races are now on the IMRA page. This should be a great weekend with the Commonwealth mountain running championships as well as ultra and open races also being held.
