The 12-member team will represent the island in seven individual age groups, ranging from the 8 and under boys’ division to the 17-18 girls’ division.

Gianluco Bortoli and Tobiah Goodchild will contest the 5K race in the boys 15-16 division. In the senior girls’ categories, Jeada Grant will compete in the 17-18 division, and Azari Jones will run in the 15-16 division. The girls’ races in these categories will cover a 4K distance.
The club has also invited DNA runner Sanchez Smith to join the traveling squad. Smith is entered in the 5K event within the boys 15-16 division.
The roster includes Riana Robinson, Elena Bortoli, Zara Bule, Ronan Davidge, and Spencer Halderman, who will compete in the 13-14 boys’ and girls’ divisions. These athletes will run courses measuring 3K and 4K respectively.
Naomi MacGuinness will represent the club in the girls 11-12 division, running a 3K distance. The team’s youngest member, Elliott Davidge, will compete in the 8 and under boys’ division, which features a 2K race.
