UKA insurance covers organisers and promoters for all events in Great Britain and Northern Ireland including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

I understood that the registration and affiliation issues were imposed on UKA by UK Sport and the UKA implementation of the Foster Report.

If the FRA are affiliated directly to UKA then they should be the organisation for GB and NI.

I suspect that poor representation by the FRA Committee during its discussions with UKA may have resulted in this anomaly.

Why can the Trail Running Association represent all UK events but the FRA only represent English events?
