Information
Most definitely an event for all abilities, run 1 race or all 4. If you’ve never done cross country before, this is a great place to start!
As with most cross country races, the ladies and men’s races are held separately, so the men will cheer and support the ladies while they are racing, and vice versa. And cake is particularly encouraged at Cross Country events!!!
Dates for 2020 will be announced later in the year
