Affiliations to our Governing Bodies
England Athletics
England Athletics is the new governing body for athletics in England. They are primarily responsible for international level competiton but clubs must be affiliated if they want to compete in regional or national running, cross-country or track & field competition. £5 of every club member's annual fee is paid to England Athletics. We are part of the London region. Affiliation also provides insurance for us to hold our own races. We are affiliated for competition in road running, track & field, race walking, fell running and cross country.
South of England Athletics Association
The SEAA is the former governing body for athletics in the south of England. It is still responsible for organising a number of competitions and leagues.
Triathlon England
Triathlon England governs triathlon in England as part of the British Triathlon Federation, responsible for governing triathlon across the UK. It also looks after duathlon and aquathlon. Serpentine are within the Triathlon London Region. Club affiliation provides insurance for us to hold our own races and gives members reduced rates for individual BTF membership. Note that Serpentine members must still become individual BTF members to avoid paying for a day license at each race – just quote your club name as "Serpentine".
Cycling Time Trials
CTT is the governing body for cycling time trials in the UK. In order to compete in time trials, competitors must be a member of an affiliated club. Serpentine is affiliated to CTT so all you need to do is enter your chosen race.
