Medals will be presented for each event in all age groups.  Please note that for Veterans, this will apply to the V35+, V50+ and V60+ age groups only.

The first three Humber County competitors in each event final will receive the award. 

Heat times will be used to determine any final position(s) should less than three Humber athletes complete the event final.  For example, two athletes completing the final will receive the 1st and 2nd County award, 3rd place to be determined by the fastest heat time from the remaining Humber athletes.

Rules & Eligibility

Held under UKA rules

All competitors, except Under 11's, must have a Humberside Qualification, either by birth, or 9 months residence (in the four Unitary Authorities which form Humberside, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire and Kingston Upon Hull) immediately prior to the Championship - this rule may be relaxed, on application to the entry secretary, for Junior aged athletes and younger {UKA Rule 9 (10)} but it does not confer a county qualification.

Under 11's do not need a County Qualification, as their event is not of championship status.

Some athletes will have a dual qualification, i.e.born in one county and living in another.  These athletes must choose which county they wish to represent.  They must stay within the same county each calendar year.  So if they entered the Cross Country Championships of either County in 2020 they have made their choice for this year.  NB, this does not apply to schools competition where the location of the school attended is the deciding factor.

Age groups U13 and above will require a valid UKA URN to be eligible for the meeting.  Guest entries for these age groups will not be accepted.
