XC season 2010-11

Fixtures for the Cumbria League, Mid-Lancs League, and County Champs are now confirmed. The article 'Cross Country' in the last edition of the Pacemaker, detailed how XC running is a great way to bring on your running over the winter. Below are listed the main fixtures for 2010-11. Time to dig out those spikes!

The Cumbria League caters well for runners of all abilities with a 'group system' whereby two groups of slower runners are set off at 6 and 3 minutes prior to the racing snakes, as well as junior races (Min age 9, Cats: U11, U13, U15, U17, ages as at Sept 1 2011) which start from 12 noon.

The Mid-Lancs League races are contested by stronger fields and will be of real benefit to the faster lads, women and juniors in the club.


Lastly, the dates for the Northern XC Champs, Nationals and Inter-Counties are confirmed -get them in your diaries now.
