Athletics Leinster XC Venues 2025/26

While we continue to work through the proposal presented at our recent AGM to rotate our cross country venues around the counties from 2026, please be advised that we still require venues for the remaining 3 days of our cross country championships in 2025.

 

Consequently, we would be most grateful if all clubs and counties could consider hosting one of the following events in 2025 and submit your interest to me at athleticsleinsterxcsec@gmail.com no later than Friday 30^th May 2025:

 

Day 2 – Saturday 25^th October 2025 - Novice, Under 20 and Juvenile Even Ages

Day 3 – Saturday 8^th November 2025 - Senior and Juvenile Uneven Ages

Day 4 – Saturday 29^th November 2025 Juvenile ‘B’ and Juvenile Mixed Relays

 

Note: Saturday is the preferred date, but if a potential venue is only available on Sunday, please submit an expression of interest anyway for consideration.

 

Athletics Leinster will pay €1,000 to the host club or county and Athletics Leinster will also pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the host club or county in staging the event.

 

Furthermore, Athletics Leinster will seek officials from clubs around Leinster to assist with the smooth hosting of our cross country events and lessen the burden on the host club or county.

 

To assist with your consideration, please find attached the following:

1. Athletics Leinster Cross Country 2025 - Booklet V3

2. Application form to host Athletics Leinster Cross Country Championships - 2025

3. Checklist for Athletics Leinster Cross Country Championships - 2025

 

I am available to answer any questions you might have, so please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Yours in sport,

CSIT 2025

The CSIT World Sports Games take place in Loutraki, Greece from 3^rd to 8^th June 2025.

As previously announced, Athletics Leinster will be sending a team on behalf of Athletics Ireland to compete in the competition.

This year, we are hoping to send an expanded team of 8 male and 8 female athletes to take part.

This is a wonderful opportunity for athletes to gain experience of competing in an international competition.

In the competition, the following events are available:

Senior Women:

100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m, 5,000m, 10,000m, 100m hurdles, 400 m hurdles,

javelin throw, hammer throw, 5 km walk,  4x100m relay. 4x400m relay

 

Please note that the events highlighted in yellow are considered for calculating points in the team competition and as such may be given priority when determining the final team selection. Therefore, I ask that athletes nominated also list a second event which they may be willing to partake in if required.

Details of the event can be found at https://2025.csit-world-sports-games.com/

 

On behalf of Athletics Leinster, I invite each county board to nominate up to 2 male and 2 female athletes for consideration for selection, using the form below. Please note that final selection will be decided by the Selection Committee of Athletics Leinster.

Also, please note the following regarding athlete eligibility and county board contributions:

1. All athletes nominated MUST be willing and available to participate.
2. All athletes nominated MUST be 18 years or older on 1^st May 2025.
3. Athletes may not have competed for Ireland or any other country in any major championships, including European U18/U20/U23 or Senior Championships, World U20 or Senior Championships, or EYOF. Representing Ireland in juvenile events such as SIAB internationals, Celtic Cross Country, etc, do not impact eligibility.
4. County boards must contribute a fee of €200 for each athlete from their county who is selected to represent Athletics Leinster in the competition (not every athlete nominated by the county board).

 

ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 25^TH APRIL 2025.

 

The final team selection will be confirmed as soon as possible after this date.

 

ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY COUNTY BOARDS THROUGH THE FORM AVAILABLE HERE.

 

Please get in touch with Paul This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  on ASAP if you have any queries. Otherwise, I look forward to receiving your athletes' nominations.
