ATHLETICS WICKLOW JUVENILE LEAGUE
The Juvenile League is an exciting series of five cross country races designed to encourage young athletes to stay active and involved throughout the season.
Open to all juvenile age groups, the league provides a fun, competitive atmosphere while also rewarding commitment and consistency.
How It Works
Athletes take part in up to five races held across the cross country season. Each race gives competitors the chance to gain experience, represent their club, and test themselves on different courses and conditions.
The distances vary depending on whether it’s a even/uneven race.
Kids can run in their correct age and also in the next age group up depending on whether the event is Even/Uneven Ages.
Medals and Awards
Unlike single-event competitions, the Juvenile League places special emphasis on participation and dedication.
Medals are awarded based on the number of races completed.
​
5 races completed – Gold Medal 🥇
4 races completed – Silver Medal 🥈
3 races completed – Bronze Medal 🥉
This system ensures that every athlete, regardless of finishing position, has the opportunity to earn recognition for their hard work and commitment.
