There are no cut off times etc as such, but we would ask that when you are considering an entry, you take into consideration the fact that the senior races may be multi-lap, and that it is a National Championship.
There is no car parking provided at Parliament Hill for this event
Parking is provided for coaches, the parking being about a half mile walk from the course; a permit to park a coach can be purchased for £40, via a link on the SportsSoft entry portal (this appears directly under the main entry link). No coaches will be admitted without a permit.
No, late entries are not accepted under any circumstances. Technological advances mean that we are now able to set the closing date much closer to the event date than was previously the case.
No, all athletes must run in the age groups for which they are qualified.
Second claim entrants are not allowed. You must compete for your EA-affiliated first claim club only.
Only athletes who are first claim registered members of a club that is affiliated to England Athletics may enter the English National CC. Members of clubs that are affiliated to the other three Home Countries may not enter the English National.
As there is no dedicated parking, and the venue relies almost entirely on public transport, we cannot provide a designated drop-off facility for club tents.
No, entries cannot be transferred under any circumstances
In the first instance you should enter via your club team if possible. If your club is not entering a team, you may enter as an individual. Note that for team entries, the ECCA meet the admin costs associated with processing the entry, so you will pay just the headline figure of £15 per athlete. Whereas individual entries are charged a small admin fee on top of this £15.
Provided that the club name is correctly entered on an individual entry, those individuals will be included in their club’s team score if applicable. However, we advise entering as a team entry wherever possible (see above)
All age groups are taken from the athlete’s age on 31st August 2024
