Race Participation: Children will be expected to compete in four races during the membership year (Apr – Mar). The races can be part of the McGrady Cross Country Series, Super 5 Series or any Organised Junior Race whereby the child runs as a member of Newcastle Junior Athletics Club (school events and races are not included). If a member fails to compete in four events, their membership may not be renewed the following year except in exceptional circumstances. If a waiting list of potential new members exists, those on it will be offered membership ahead of the renewing member.
