Clubmark

Link to Clubmark
Clubmark is a cross-sport quality accreditation for clubs with junior sections. National governing bodies of sport (NGBs) and county sport partnerships (CSPs) award Clubmark to proven high quality clubs.
Marie Dixon wrote “There isn’t a specific criteria for endurance clubs but more a specific set of criteria for adult only clubs (which by default is most endurance clubs). Attached is a excel version of the clubmark criteria. Those points highlighted and (J) are for junior clubs only so are not applicable to an adults only club. In terms of clubs completing the criteria it has only been available for the past 12 months approximately so as of yet we haven’t had any clubs fully complete the criteria. Sheffield Road Runners have submitted their file for assessment but are still requiring a couple of pieces of evidence before they are accredited.” (added 8 Jul 2008)
