2024 / 2025 Cross Country Information

Save the dates! 

As the dark nights close in, we can start to think about the Cross Country season.  Some of the best training you can do to get you fit and ready for the spring events in 2025.  They are all team events but you also compete as an individual. All members are welcome to take part subject to an appropriate age group being available.

Off road shoes (trail or fell) or cross country spikes should be worn unless the courses are very dry.

The events are great value, for example the South Yorkshire League costs £8 for your number.  If you do all 4 races its just £2 a race, but you don’t have to do all 4.

For all these events a club vest must be warn.

It would be very useful for a few people to come forward to volenteer to take the club flag and tent 🙂
