All championship events to include non-binary category

Wednesday 23rd January 2019

Non-binary athletes competing within Scottish National Championships

Following discussions with athletes, event organisers and with our event commissions, all scottishathletics championship events will include a non-binary gender category within the event entry options.

This will run as a pilot from the start of April 2019 and will include all events which stage a national championship on our behalf.

The scottishathletics policy on non-binary athletes competing within Scottish National Championship events is lodged on our Equality pages.

Timetabling for non-binary competitors will be looked at on a case by case basis, and individually reviewed per event/discipline. Support and advice on best practice is available to all event organisers new to hosting events for a non-binary category.

A copy of our non-binary guidelines for race organisers can be found on our website.

*If you have any further questions, please contact our National Events Manager, Alasdhair Love or our Equalities Officer, Francesca Snitjer for any advice.
