Welcome to the new ESAA website
We've re-arranged things to be even simpler to access, particularly if you are using a small touch-screen with big sticky fingers!
Click on any of the activities shown here to go straight to all the information you need about this year's events. The subsequent menus will then let you select different years.
Latest News
The new ESAA website is gradually being brought into action after many months of re-design and planning.
This box will be used to bring you the information most relevant for now, together with reminders about up-coming events, entry deadlines and closing deadlines for teachers.
Athlete Registration
We've now switched on our Athlete Registration facility. This enables athletes who might be in line for selection for their County team to register themselves online, to ensure that their name is spelled correctly if they are selected, and to save County Team Managers a load of time and effort when submitting their team entries for the National Track & Field Championships. Click the Track & Field picture box for details.
Track & Field Cup Athletes
We've introduced a new scheme for pupils to assist us. Click the Track & Field Cup picture box, then the would you like to help us button for details
Cross Country Cup
Cross Country Cup entries are now open and will close on 15th June. This year we won't be posting brochures to schools, instead we're posting a short flyer to ask you to download the brochure from the website. Click the Cross Country Cup picture box for further details.
During the next few months we'll be gradually moving our massive archive of web pages to match this new look and feel, but with over 13,000 files to check, this might take a while! In the meantime, for information prior to 2013 you will be re-directed back to the original ESAA website - you'll need to navigate that as before, by clicking the year, then selecting what you want from the menu for that year.

SIAB Cross Country : 23rd March
With all the snow across much of England and North Wales, it was no doubt a struggle for athletes and officials to travel to Wales. Click the International picture box for results.
Cross Country Championships : 16th March
On Friday afternoon, the course was beautiful, and quite dry underfoot. Overnight, it rained... a lot! As a result, nearly all the spectator areas and most of the course became a quagmire, which resulted in some bits of the course being shortened, and some changes to the number and size of laps were made in order to keep the race times within sensible limits - even so, the Senior races ended up around one an a half minutes longer than last year.

End of February
Entries for the Track & Field Cup closed. County Secretaries will shortly be contacting all the schools which have entered to arrange the first round competitions. Click the Track & Field Cup picture box for further details.
December 1st
The Cross Country Cup Final was staged at Canon Slade School in Bolton. After months of rain, followed by weeks of torrential downpours, the whole Country was subject to serious flooding. However, we were extremely fortunate that the North West proved to be the 'driest' part of the Country and the rain stopped a few days before the event. On the day, the weather was superb - a crisp sunny winter's day, with a light chilly breeze, and temperatures around a pleasant 4 to 5 degrees.
The course, although very wet underfoot, proved to be challenging but very picturesque.
