English Schools’ Cross-Country Championships 2021 Cancelled
Message from Paul Allison (English Schools’ Cross-Country Secretary
Dear County Cross Country Secretaries
A belated happy new year to you all. I hope this email finds you and your families well in these unprecedented times.
As you are all aware, the English Schools Athletics Committee, in conjunction with Kent Schools AA have been working since January 2020 on the planning for a 2021 championships at Hop Farm, Kent.
The planning continued throughout the summer, autumn and winter on the hope that the pandemic would subside enough to allow some form of an English Schools Cross Country Championships. We even considered postponing the event and moving it to an April or May event on the hope we would get some additional time to plan and to see if the pandemic and government announcements allowed for more grass roots sport.
It will come then as no surprise to you all, and particularly because the pandemic has increased its ferocity over the past couple of months and with schools closures, the English Schools Committee have taken the decision to cancel the 2021 championships. This is obviously a decision that some of you were asking us to make some time ago, but we felt that in order to give the championships any hope of taking place, we wanted to give ourselves as much time as possible to wait to see if things improved. It is of course not just the logistics of the event, we also know the department of education play a big part in the decision about school sport, travel, residential and school closures, during this pandemic.
I can announce that Kent Schools AA have offered to host the championships in 2022, which we are very grateful. It makes complete sense with the amount of planning that they put into the 2021 event. The proposed date is Saturday 12th March 2022, hopefully at Hop Farm. I would be very happy to hear from any county who would like to consider hosting the event in 2023 and beyond. I can offer complete support to your offer of hosting and if you would like to discuss this further, please drop me a line.
I would also like to announce a ‘Virtual English Schools Cross Country Championships’ for this year. Further details will be sent to you after I have finished the planning. 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. A simple google form will allow 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 county team event.
I thank you all for being patient during this time and look forward to sending you details of the virtual event soon and better news about the 2022 championships.
Kind Regards
Paul Allison
English Schools Cross Country Secretary

Wet weather parking
Updated 15th March The fields allocated for public parking are way too wet to use, so the public will now use the area shown designated for coaches. Coaches will need to drop off their teams and will then be turned around and sent to a coach parking area at Elland Road Football Stadium at the South side of Leeds, many miles away.
Athletes WILL NOT HAVE access to team coaches during the afternoon.
Team managers should obtain the mobile phone number of their coach driver so that they can inform them of when the team needs to be picked up. There will inevitably be delays and traffic jams.
Muddy kit
Updated 15th March It is now inevitable that athletes will get muddy. Coach drivers really don’t appreciate their shiny new coaches getting mucky, so please ensure that you bring enough plastic bags to safely wrap up your muddy kit before you try to get back on your team coach.
Temple Newsam Park, Leeds – Saturday 17th March 2018The 58th Boys and 50th Girls New Balance English Schools’ Cross Country Championship is to take place atTemple Newsam Park on Saturday 17th March 2018.The park is situated South East of Leeds and is just a few minutes from Junction 46 on the M1.

Public Parking – There will be a parking charge of £8 per car, which will include an event programme. Please ensure that you have the correct money available to help speed entry to the parking area.
Ground Conditions – As you may be aware, Leeds has had a whole load of snow in the last few weeks which has made the the ground conditions on the course very wet and soggy. As at Monday 12th March the going is very heavy in places, and it is recommended that longer spikes be used, perhaps 12-15mm.
It is likely that it will not be possible for teams to walk the course to inspect it prior to the races. We will have to try and preserve course conditions. We’ll update this information if it changes in the next few days.
Wet Weather Parking – If the fields allocated for public parking are too wet, the public will use the area designated for coaches. In this case, the coaches will be sent away and won’t return until the end of the event.
Athletes must not rely on having access to team coaches during the afternoon.
Muddy kit – It is quite possible that athletes will get muddy. Coach drivers really don’t appreciate their shiny new coaches getting mucky, so please ensure that you bring enough plastic bags to safely wrap up your muddy kit before you try to get back on your team coach.
Timetable
Presentations – It is envisaged that the Team Race presentations will take place during the afternoons races. There will be announcements made to keep you aware of the times of the Team Race presentations. Championship notes for the start of each race – 1. Competitors should assemble in the marquee behind the start area in plenty of time before their race. 2. Competitors will be allowed into the start area 5 minutes before the beginning of each race. 3. A warning will be given 3 minutes before each race. At this time, competitors should assemble behind their start pen. 4. With 1 minute to go competitors will be instructed to move into their start pen and line up in race order by the Start Stewards. 5. Competitors should listen carefully to any last moment instructions given by the Starter. 6. The start will be by gun. 7. Numbers must be securely pinned on the front of the County vest. Any mutilation or folding of these numbers may lead to disqualification. Anti-Doping – All ESAA competitions are subject to the strict anti-doping policies of British Athletics and IAAF. Further information can be found on the ESAA anti-doping page. Health & Safety – Athletes are advised that Health & Safety regulations recommend that you should examine the course for potential hazards before competing. The course will be checked by the organisers and a risk assessment conducted. A final inspection will be made on the morning of the event and any issues arising will be addressed then. The course is on mixed-use land which may be grazed by farm animals. As a matter of normal daily life, we advise that athletes and spectators check that they are up to date with anti-tetanus injections – don’t forget that you need a booster jab every 10 years. Any competitor who has concerns about a safety aspect on the course should bring it to the attention of the organisers immediately. If the issue cannot be resolved satisfactorily, the competitor will be advised not to participate in the event. Photographs and Videos – Photographs of ESAA events might be published in the athletics press, local media, and on this website. All ESAA photographs are taken in accordance with the guidelines relating to photos in schools published by the Information Commissioner with regard to the Data Protection Act 1998. Photographs and videos can be taken by the public from public areas for personal use only. They may not be published in any form (including on personal or club websites) without written permission from the ESAA. Most ESAA competitions are held on private land and are therefore deemed to be ‘not public’ areas. All ESAA events are SCHOOL events and are therefore covered by regulations governing what can and can’t be done in schools. One important point therefore is that you are not allowed to take photographs of school activities for commercial publication without specific written permission from event organisers. This is no different to the fact that one cannot simply walk onto a school playing field and start taking and publishing photos – most parents, and the Information Commissioner, would strongly agree that school activities should not be published unless publication is under strict control. Photographers at ESAA events wishing to publish photos in the media or in any other form (eg. internet websites), or wishing to use them for anything other than personal use must be officially registered and accredited by the ESAA, and register the use to which photos will be put, and to obtain permission for that use. Permission WILL be retrospectively withdrawn if anyone is found to be in breach of the uses which they registered with us, and under such circumstances, the offender will be required to delete all images they hold from our events. This therefore precludes operators who simply turn up, make videos, then publish them with associated advertising which is outside of our control. No one has permission to do this unless they have written consent from the ESAA. We are aware that some people register themselves as press photographers then publish complete videos of our events online, and even make their broadcasts available for sale.This is very specifically not allowed. In effect, they are broadcasting companies making television programmes without our permission. It doesn’t matter how they publish their content, whether by television over the air or via the internet, or via DVD. The fact they broadcast our event content to the world makes them broadcasters. To be an accreditted broadcaster for the ESAA, they need to be properly established companies, properly registered and regulated by the broadcasting authorities, and they need to be properly registered with the Information Commissioner. Also, in order to sell their content they need to have been given written permission to sell what is our copyright, and pay the necessary royalties due to us. They also need to comply with the UK Distance Selling Regulations in order to take payments from the public. There is also the very important fact that under the rules of UK athletics, televised athletics events in the UK need to be authorised by the UK Governing Body. The ESAA operates under these rules. A list of officially accredited photographers will be published on this website shortly after the event along with their contact details. It is not possible to prevent photographs of any particular individual from appearing in the media. If this is a problem for you, you are advised not to take part in the event. If any parent wishes a particular picture of their child appearing on this website to be removed please contact us and we will do our best to resolve any problem. |

English Schools’ Cross Country Championships
Saturday 18 March 2017 (Norwich Showground, Norfolk)
On behalf of all of the Durham County Schools’ Cross-Country Team Managers, I would like to thank all of the athletes who represented Durham in the ES XC this weekend. They were a pleasure to take away and were a credit to their parents, coaches, schools, clubs and of course the county. Well done everyone!
