ESAA Championships 2025

March 15th

South of England Showground, Ardingly, East Sussex.

Additional Information

Selection will be made predominately, from the County Championships in January, by the county committee.

Warwickshire Schools will take a team of 48 athletes to the Championships.

A top 8 finish at the County Championships does NOT guarantee an automatic selection, but all 8 will be considered for team selection. In selection we may also consider any known runners who had to miss the County Championships for a justifiable reason! These runners, however, would be expected to have displayed proven fitness and outstanding performance in recent School / Club fixtures. 

Selected runners will be notified directly, as well as teams being sent to your PE department.

Juniors – Year 8 & 9 combined

Inters – Year 10 & 11 combined

Seniors – Year 12 & 13 combined

There is an athlete entry fee for this event.

Travel will need to be provided by the family to the event on the day.
