Sue Harrison - 5/3/2008

Shelli GordonDurham Fixture 2015Jim Bentley



 

Welcome to the

Northern Police Cross Country and Trail Leagues

 

The league started in the late 1970's and for over 40 years has attracted runners from most of the police forces across the north of England.

The league now stages 11/12 fixtures each season that starts in early October through to late March. Each fixture attracts between 40 and 80 runners.

In recent years the league has gone from strength to strength, despite the pressures of securing time-off from police duties. We have recently added an 11th and 12th fixture that add a better chance to attend the six required fixtures!

For 2024 we are planning another Summer 10K Trail  Series. This year we will have four fixtures starting in April through to September 2024.

All information about the XC League and Trail Series, past and present is contained in this website.

For further information contact the League Secretary:

Steve Broadbent

Next Fixture#11 - GMP Fixture - Rivington
Wednesday 27 March 2024

Final NPCCL Fixture #11 - Rivington
Wednesday 27 March 2024 - 1.30pm
Sat Nav: Great House Barn Rivington BL6 7SB
The final fixture will be jointly hosted by GMP and Lancs.
The course will be a pretty testing circa 5 mile route. Three-laps, 900ft ascent over some quite muddy and wet terrain. The race will start from across the road from the Barn Cafe at 1.30pm.
The route is different from Fixture #2 held in October. It is over some new terrain away from the reservoir offering a variety of grassland, muddy paths and picturesque woodland trails with great views. Some 300ft of gradual ascent and descent over each lap.
Toilets and car parking available by the cafe. There will be Soup and a Roll provided free after the race in the cafe from 2.30pm. You can buy other drinks, cake etc. before and after the race.
A prize presentation for the 2023/24 Season will take place in the cafe at 3.15pm. Prizes will be awarded to placed individuals, veterans and mixed teams.
An AGM for the League will also take place between 3.30pm and 4pm. Everyone is invited to attend. Here we can discuss all aspects of the League and plans for the 2024/2025 Season!
See you on Wednesday!
