Should those athletes still want to be considered for the Marathon World Championships, we invite them to submit their mitigating circumstances in writing to the Chair of the Selectors in line with section 4.1 of selection policy.

The MRC is seeking volunteer staff to support the GB team at its international races this year.
It’s a fun but tiring few days travelling with our best athletes, helping them achieve their best possible result. You will be an integral part of the team, helping in all sorts of ways like driving, general organising, drinks changes at portages, emotional support, and safeguarding. Teams are led by an experienced manager so new staff are well supported. All expenses are paid, and team kit provided.
