CROSS COUNTRY

Welcome to the cross country section of the club. We take part in a number of events between October and March.  
Cross country is traditionally a team event providing healthy competition for athletes as they build endurance for the rigours of the next track and field season. These 4-8 mile off road races provide excellent training for all endurance runners. Road runners - if you can finish 10K of hills and mud then the same distance on the road should feel easier and definitely faster! 

​For an introduction to cross country consider the Steve Saunders multi-terrain series held every Tuesday throughout September.

Our main cross country competition is NWSCC League. The dates for the 2017-18 season are:
Race 1: Sunday 29th October - Clarkes Gardens
Race 2: Sunday 12th November - Beacon Park
Race 3: Sunday 10th December - Arrowe Park
Race 4: Sunday 14th January - Town Park, Runcorn
Race 5: Sunday 28th January - Walton Hall Park (subject to confirmation)
Race 6: Sunday 25th February - Forest Park, Birchwood
