CLUB NEWS & UPDATES:


2024 OUTDOOR SEASON REGISTRATION — Now Closed

Registration for the upcoming 2024 Outdoor Track & Field Season is now closed. We have reached our maximum limit regarding Coach-to-Athlete ratio. Thank you for your interest in our club.


ATHLETICS ONTARIO (AO) ATHLETE REGISTRATION

In past, the York Region Runners Club has taken responsibility for annually registering all Athletes with either the Minor Track Association of Ontario (MTA) or Athletics Ontario (AO), depending on the athlete’s age. The cost of registration is included in the Athlete’s club membership fees.

However, starting with the 2024 Outdoor Track and Field Season, AO now requires all Athletes 14 years of age and older to register themselves directly with AO. This is a new AO requirement, however the club will reimburse athletes and their families, for the cost of their AO registration. Please see the 2024 OUTDOOR TRACK & FIELD SEASON OVERVIEW for details regarding reimbursement, when registering for the Outdoor Season. Athletes 14 years of age and older who chose not to register, will not be allowed to participate in any AO sanctioned meets during 2024.

This is an annual AO registration, and as such will not need to be renewed for the remainder of 2024, if an Athlete chooses to participate in either of the club’s Cross Country or Indoor Track & Field Seasons during the remainder of the year.

Finally, there are no changes with regards to MTA registration for Athletes 13 years of age or under. The club will continue to look after registering these athletes and paying their registration fee.
