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,
