Sussex Athletics Cross Country
Each year we take part in the series of cross country races organised by Sussex Athletics. The season starts with a relay event for the Sussex Cross Country Relay Championships. Then there are 4 league races where we can accrue points for the club. There are also the Sussex Cross Country Championships and the Sussex Masters Cross Country Championships.​The races cover the whole range of ages and we enter various teams in each event. The courses are very similar to the WSFRL races and are generally around 8k in length, with the ladies running slightly less distance. Cost per race is c£6.00 and you enter individually through the Sussex Athletics website. Click here for more information. They are very social events and you will find lots of support from other club runners.​Paul Luttman is our representative for these races so, look out for his announcements on the Spond group and in emails.
On Saturday 6th December we head to the Ardingly Showground, RH17 6TL for the third Sussex XC league race this season.
Here are the start times, team categories and course distances:
2.05pm - Senior & Vet Women - 5km Course
2.35pm - Senior & Vet Men - 8km Course
The races use the equestrian cross country course and other areas within the showground.
These races are suitable for all abilities and are no tougher than autumn / winter WSFRL races.
The only requirement is a S&S top. You enter personally either: £7 in advance online at https://race-nation.co.uk/register/sussex-athletics or £10 on the day at registration
