WMRA Calendar 2013: 15th WMRA Grand Prix 2013and WMRA Permit 2013: application form.
DearMountain Race Organisers,
WMRA are starting already to prepare the 2013 WMRA Calendar.
The 2013 Calendar has four different sections – like in the past years - as follows:
Section 1: International Mountain races staged by WMRA (that is WMRA World Championships, WMRA Long Distance Challenge, WMRA International Youth Cup), Area Continental Championships, Championships of other Organisations (such as the Commonwealth or Balkan Athletic Federations), and Masters World Mountain Running Championships (in cooperation with WMA);
Section 2: Mountain races chosen for inclusion in the 15th WMRA Grand Prix 2013 (application form annex n. 1);
Section 3: WMRA Associated races that is WMRA Permit races (application form annex n. 2);
Section 4: Mountain races worldwide whose races are open to athletes from other than the host country.
Races in Section 2 will be ”IAAF permit races”. LOC of these races must pay to WMRA a sum that will be fixed by WMRA Council (minimum 500,00 Euros – maximum 750.00 Euros; nothing for World Mountain Running Championships) because the final amount for final money prize will be paid by WMRA. Of course anti-doping control is a requirement for all Grand Prix races and costs– like in the past years – will be on charge of LOC. These races will have on the WMRA webpage a link and appear in the WMRA newsletter. News about the race will be publish also in IAAF news of the official IAAF webpage. WMRA Council will select the 2013 Grand Prix races and will fix the WMRA fee on31st August 2012.The application form for “WMRA Grand Prix race 2013” (Section 2) is annex n. 1.
Races in Section 3 must pay to WMRA a fee – like in the past – of 100,00$ USD (or 50,00 Euros) and these races will have on the WMRA webpage a link and appear in the WMRA newsletter. The application form for “WMRA Associated races” that is “IAAF permit races 2013” (Section 3) is annex n. 2.
Races in Section 4 will be put in the WMRA Calendar free of charge but only with date of event and location. Inclusion is limited to races affiliated to the National Athletic Federation of the country in which it takes place.
WMRA Council considered that your race could be a race to be included in WMRA Calendar like“Grand Prix race – IAAF permit race” or like “Associated race – WMRA permit race”.
For this reason WMRA invites to you for considering one of thesetwo possibilities. WMRA asks to you for sending to WMRA the enclosed application form using document annex n. 1 or annex n. 2, completed and signed, as soon as possible (deadline 27thAugust 2012): thank you in advance for it.
Of course, with a limited number of races to be part of the 15th WMRA Grand Prix 2013, it will not be possible for everyone who puts in a bid to be selected: many factors will be taken into account when the final selection is made. We will be trying to ensure an even spread of events in time and place and type of race.
The races to be included in the calendar under section 4 will provide by each National Athletic Federation to WMRA, when the mountain running national Calendar will be prepared.
We are confident that WMRA Calendar will be interesting like in the past time and above of all that the 15th WMRA Grand Prix 2013 races - as always until now - will enjoy greatly enhanced status and attract the worlds best mountain runners: first draft of WMRA Calendar 2013 is enclosed (annex n. 3).
May we take this opportunity to express our thanks to you, a mountain race organiser, for your good work in contributing to the continued development of the sport of mountain running.
Best wishes.
