Considering the ongoing pandemic situation, a Covid-19 Sanitary Protocol has been developed (shared separately with the participating teams). The sanitary procedures may be changed in accordance with the development of the Covid-19 pandemic situation in United Kingdom. The rules included in the protocol are mandatory for all individuals accredited for the European 10’000m CUP 2021 in Birmingham. Violation of these procedures may result in the cancellation of the accreditation, and in the serious cases, for the athletes concerned, the achieved results could be deemed void. The team members are obliged to follow the changes and be up to date with the current rules. All the procedures have been developed in order to be able to host the event in the traditional formula with regard to keeping all participants’ safety as a priority.

All information included in this Team Manual may be adjusted / amended at any time, if required by the above mentioned Sanitary Protocol. Such changes would be highlighted, if any.
