Senior athletes – Deadline Fri 27 Jan

With the new indoor stadium in Athlone underway there is no guarantee that the the Odyssey will be made available in future years for this showpiece event, so athletes are encouraged to take the opportunity to compete in this world-class venue.

City of Lisburn AC brought a large squad to these championships last year and enjoyed a successful weekend across all the age-groups. Athletes please note that with the exception of relay teams, responsiblity for entries for these championships lies with the athlete themselves. On-line entry via the Athletics NI website is the easiest option and gives immediate confirmation of acceptance of entry.

Athletes please note that as this is a championship they must compete in the club vest. Anyone still needing one of the new (red) vests or indeed any other club kit, please talk to Joanne Savage / Andrea Anderson or your own coach. Vests still priced at £15.
