Month: July 2024

Due to logistical difficulties, the Marathon Racing Committee (MRC) will be unable to send an Under 14 & Under 16 development team to the French Nationals event in 2024. However, the Selection committee recognises the importance of this opportunity to many of the young athletes and remain committed to athlete development. Therefore, the National Marathon Championships, at Reading Canoe Club on 13th and 14th July, will remain a selection event for Under 14 and Under 16 athletes. The MRC are making arrangements for the selected athletes to attend the German National Championships, or an international equivalent race in Spring 2025, in place of the French Nationals. The provisional date for the German National Championships is 9-11th May 2025.

All athletes who are racing in the Under 14 and Under 16 event categories at the 2024 National Marathon Championships who are wishing to be considered for selection must complete the below availability form by 22:00 on the 7^th August.
