Entry Selection
For 2013 there are 30 places available in this event.
There are two ways to enter this event:
Via Your Force Sports Club
There may be other members of your force interested in being selected for this event. It is likely that your club may want to hold a local selection test to determine their best male and female competitor in your sports club.
Direct To The Organiser
Smaller forces may only attract one or two entries. If you are unaware of any other interest in your force then you could enter directly with the organiser and take an automatic entry. Should an other entry come forward from your force then a decision would have to be made by your force sports club as to who is selected.
You may then consider applying to your Club for funding support. Most forces in the UK should recognise this event as an official PSUK competition and will hopefully provide funding. This may be subject to force funding criteria.
After the entry deadline the committee may accept further entries from the same force subject to spaces being available.
