​

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.​
