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 road or track & 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 Multi-Terrain Series held every Tuesday throughout September.
