New pricing structure for AAI permit applications

HeavyRunner

I believe there are new prices for applying for an AAI race permit. If I recall correctly there is a fee of 500 Euro for commecial events. Can't find the application form on the AAI web-site though. Anybody have a link to a copy.

1 AAI Club License (Affiliated Clubs) Fee: €50.00
All applications must be made through the County Board and forwarded to the Chair of Competition with the appropriate fee.

Fees: € 100 - up to 1000
€ 250 – in excess of 1000 participant’s
Applications must be made through a local club in the area of the event, and then approved by the County Board.

3. Commercial License.
(Individual Group or organisation not affiliated to a club or charity as in category 1 or 2 above)

The .doc file is too big to upload... even though its only 800k. PM me and I can send you on a copy.

Thanks Domer. I wonder will commercial race organizers bother looking for a permit if they have to pay 500 Euro. Although in the overall costs for a race it is not much and it may still work out cheaper for them as their insurance costs may be lower. Another point. I think the AAI should publish a list of pending and granted permits on their web-site. Alongside these it should show the type of license, Affiliated, charitable or commercial with the name of the benifiting club or organization. This would make it very clear to runners what type of race they are running in.

Thanks for detailing the pricing structure, had wondered what figures they were going to settle on. Another thing is I see that they have dropped the term 'permit' and replaced it with a race license.

So does this mean that if you host your annual club race which has entry open to any athlete and an athlete from outside Ireland enters then you should really be paying the International License Fee or does it only cover events where you are knowingly inviting foreign athletes.

Also is there a date from when these come into force, because as a club secretary it would be really nice for AAI to pass this down the ranks.

PM sent to request that document

The new system is already in place. I saw an application at a Wexford county board meeting with the new form and price.
The question of 'International' is an interesting one. We have a road race in Kilmore a short hop to the Rosslare Ferry. If we happen to get entries from some Welsh athletes is it an 'International' event. Last year most of our entries were local runners unattached to any club. So if we have an 'AAI club license' for the race it would probably be OK to accept entries from unattached Welsh athletes but not Welsh club athletes!. Are entries from the North of Ireland considered international I wonder.
