This year's Regional Academy Trial will take place on the 6th and 7th September at New Hall School, Chelmsford

You may come on either day.

The trial will comprise a swim trial followed by a run trial.  The swim is in an indoor pool and the run is on a tartan track.  Each is a solo, un-paced effort.  You may dive at the start of the swim.  You may wear spikes for the run.

The distances are determined by your age on the day of the trial:

-  age 16 or under :  200m swim, 1500m run. 

-  age 17 or older :  400m swim, 3000m run

You will have time to warm up and prepare for each trial as you wish.  

The trials are open to anyone eligible to represent GB (Must have been born in year 2000 or earlier).  However you must let me (tim@perfectcondition.ltd.uk) know in advance that you wish to come, and on which day.  I will confirm your time.
