In 2026 NJIRC Live is returning to the Copper Box and John Charles Centre, as well as keeping the very successful virtual event for anyone who cant make it to London or Leeds.

NJIRC Virtual 2025 saw over 8000 young people take part, so combined with the return of the two big live events we are on for NJIRC 2026 being the biggest and best ever!

You can read more about NJIRC 2026 and how the competition will work across the two venues in the Frequently Asked Questions document at www.njirc.co.uk .

If you have any questions, please email njirc@londonyouthrowing.com and we will respond as quickly as possible.

UPDATE!

We are aware a few schools and clubs need some more time sorting logistics and travel arrangements. For that reason, we are pleased to announce we have decided to extend the entries as late as we possibly can. 

We don’t want any young people missing out on the opportunity to take part!

New Entry deadlines:

·       NJIRC North – 5pm Monday 9^th February

·       NJIRC South – 5pm Monday 2^nd March

·       NJIRC Virtual – Sunday 15^th March

Please note for the Live events we will need student names two weeks before.
