  2. In England, all competing athletes must be registered with EA and have paid the yearly fee to use their URN (Unique Registration Number).
  3. All competing athletes retain their URN’s throughout their athletics career and use to access their own athlete profile in the Membership portals.

Track and field age groups

If you are unsure whether you can compete within a certain age group (u11, u13, u15, u17, u20 etc) then the following guidelines taken from the UK Athletics Rules for Competition (Rule 107) will help determine which age group is applicable.(we are indebted to Wirral AC for digging this out)
