There are six races in all for the session. The first race is on 13 October at Whitbread Hollow. As with all the events this is about 5 miles. This event and the second event on 10 November at Firle are Chalk downland and free draining: accordingly these events are suitable for Road shoes so are good events to do if you have not previously tried cross country and do not have off road shoes. You can run the later events in road shoes but the courses can be muddy and off road shoes give better traction. See Events, Cross country for further details.
For the first time we will be hosting an event this year: the third event on 15 December at New Place Farm near Framfield. Whilst I would not wish to discourage anyone from running the event we will need marshals so if youare able to marshall or have other halves, offspring, parents, friends who would be interested in marshalling please let Peter or Graham know.
