Cross Country season is well and truly underway.

We will update this page much closer to the 2025 Cross Country season, but as a brief overview please see below regarding 2024 Cross Country;

​

Cross country is a team event for people of all abilities and is lots of fun

​

There are two upcoming events as well as the South Yorkshire cross country league :

Northern Cross Country relay championships on 19 October at Graves Park, Sheffield.

For the above two events, we will fund what we can from the club funds but may ask you to contribute/pay for your entry if needed.

​

South Yorkshire Athletics Cross County (SYCAA) league.

This is a series of four cross country events/races. You get one number for all events.

Distance: Men around 6 miles, women and vet 65 men around 4 miles.

Dates and venues:

13 October - Norfolk Park, Sheffield

17 November - Penistone

15 December - Graves Park, Sheffield.

​

For the SYCAA league, the entry (number) is £8 per person (runners will need to pay for their number).

Please note, if you say yes, then you’re committing to a number, even if you do not end up taking part in the races.

​

The rules for these XC events mean that everyone taking part must be first claim members (affiliated) for the club they represent and must wear a club vest. For the nationals, it must be the official club vest

If you want to take part, there’s time to sort both of these.

​

Footwear - spikes or trail shoes will be needed. You can pick up cheap pairs of spikes on Vinted, at Decathlon or any running shops. Please ask for help/ advice if you need it with this.​
