DH Runners Cross Country Championship
Hope you're all getting psyched for the 2024 XC league and DH XC Championship. Below is some information to tantalise your TRAIL TRAINERS. As stated, dates have been booked, but they are waiting for certain venue availabilities to be confirmed before the entries open. This allows you to get the dates saved in your diaries early! Once I get updates, I will share them with you so you can SPRINT to the online entry page. Can't wait to see some new faces as well as our yearly club members in the RUNNING for a place on the scoresheet.
** The dates are confirmed, but the venues could change:
28/09/24 Cockermouth
26/10/24 Workington
16/11/24 Keswick
30/11/24 Carlisle Rickerby Park
14/12/24 Netherhall School (tbc) (Reserve Keswick)
Entries will be on Sportsoft as in previous years.
Alongside the races and inter-club competitions, we will again be running the DH Cross Country Club Championship just for club members, which will work in a way very similar to the normal Club Champs:
- The five races that make up the Cumbria XC league are the only races that count.
- As with the regular club championships, this will be based on WAVA age grading scores and there will be a male and a female prize. Because cross country courses are not accurately measured, but usually fall somewhere between 5 and 6 miles in length, for the purposes of the age grading calculation we will treat each race as 5.5 miles.
- Each runner's top 3 scores will make up their final score.
- We need volunteers for the Carlisle event, as that is hosted by DH. Anyone who volunteers and so is unable to run at that event will score 65 points for it, this will then be included in their final score if it is one of their top three scores.
- Winners will be awarded their prizes at the Christmas Party.
