England Athletics Registration

To compete in most competitions in the UK, you need to be registered with England Athletics (EA) – this provides the insurance cover as well as ensuring your results can be posted on the Power of 10 website, for example. However there are many other benefits which are explained in more detail on the EA website.

Your membership fee to C&C includes a fee which we pass straight on to England Athletics when we (re-)register you on their portal. [The only exception to this is if you are registering with C&C as a second claim club, i.e. your first claim club is elsewhere.]

When you join for the first time you will be given a Universal Registration Number (URN) which is needed to prove your eligibility to compete in certain competitions.

What’s my URN?

If you need to find your England Athletics Registration (URN) number just go to the licence checker.  All you need is your name and date of birth, and the system will tell you if you are currently registered and what your URN is.

C&C upload all of our current first claim member’s data, but if you were late in paying your membership sub, or have joined recently, you may not have been updated yet. If you find you are not registered (you may still have a URN even if the registration hasn’t been paid) contact our membership secretary.

Also EA re-set all registrations to “pending” on 1st April each year so don’t worry if it shows as pending – we send a new list in and they will be updated quite soon and there is a grace period while this happens.
