Sunday Cross Country 2025/26

Another strong turnout from the club across this year’s cross country league, with races hosted by Bishop’s Stortford, Ware Joggers, Harlow and Saffron Striders over the winter months.

The league is free to enter and open to all members, with no pre-registration required. It is one of the most inclusive events in the calendar, with every runner playing a part in the overall team result.

Runners score points based on finishing position, with the first 8 finishers from each club counting towards the team score, including at least 2 veterans.

Even if you are not in that scoring 8, your run still matters. Finishing ahead of runners from other clubs pushes them down the field and helps the team overall.
