The Regional pots will be split between Regions in proportion to the number of races held and can be invested at the Region’s discretion, subject to meeting the criteria presented below.
The East Midlands Region has £3366.00 available which the East Midlands Council has agreed to increase to £5000.00.
Criteria:
- Raise coaching and performance standards
- Raise event management, safety and officiating standards
- Develop new events in previously untapped communities (e.g. ethnic minority populations)
- Attract young people into distance running
· Note 1: Proposals that deliver benefit on a UK-wide basis or support elite performance development fall into the remit of the UKA-RRLG and should be referred to that group for funding from the UKA-RRLG pot.
