Inter-Divisional Cross Country Championships

Each year, the County Sports Club organise a cross country event. The race entry is open to members of divisional clubs who compete on behalf of their respective division. The race usually attracts around 40 to 50 runners - 8 male and female runners from each division. The course is around four miles for women and six miles for men over undulating cross country terrain somewhere in the Lancashire area.

The race venue in recent years has been in Witton Park in February. Other years, the race has taken place from Lancaster University, Worden Park and Hutton Hall.

Trophies and prizes are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places runners in a variety of different categories including teams - usually three or four to count. The Inter-Divisional Challenge Trophy is awarded to the division with the fastest four runners. Pennine Division have dominated the trophy for many years with Northern and Central divisions taking control from time to time.

This is both a competitive and fun event and as always, we always aim to encourage all standards of runner. As the old saying goes, "it is the taking part, not the winning that counts"!

The £5.00 entry fee is paid by your divisional Club and details of the time, date and venue are sent out six to eight weeks before. Members who have competed in this race in the last three years will be automatically contacted by e-mail.
