Due to a number of corrections to the provisional results, the club points have changed resulting in Reading winning the club title, with Nottingham a very close second in front of Wey in third.
Nottingham’s chair Pete Illett confirmed that although they were disappointed not to take the title this year, they wanted to thank Reading for a fantastic event and that this has only left the club even more motivated for next year.
We would also like to extend our thanks to Reading for hosting the 2021 event. We continue to look for a venue for 2022, so please reach out if your club is interested.

Short Course Assessment Race, Gloucester 25th July
The MRC is organising a short-course (3.6km) assessment race for GB team selection on 25th July at Gloucester.
Race details can be found here
Self-Isolation and Assessment Races
The Selection Committee is aware of a number of athletes who will be unable to attend the National Championships and Assessment Races this weekend due to respecting COVID self-isolation.
These athletes are asked to inform the Selection Committee via James Smythe and to endeavour to attend the short-course assessment race at Gloucester on 25th July. This race will also be taken into account when selecting teams for the French Nationals, so even U14 and U16 athletes may enter this event and race in the junior class.
Finally, the Selection Policy allows the Selection Committee to take other results into account in their decisions, when mitigating circumstances such as this apply. We may look at other marathon or even sprint events if this allows a fairer decision to be made.
