Cumbria County Cross-Country Champinships 2014

The 2014 Cumbria Athletic Association County Cross-Country Championships are this Saturday, 4th January, with entry on the day.

The Cumbria County Championships are without doubt one of the highlights of the local distance running calendar. The incentive of being selected to turn out in a Cumbria vest and represent the county (the Cumbria Champs incorporates selection of the Cumbria teams for the Inter Counties XC in Birmingham) always makes for a competitive race.
