Midlands Police XC League

PSUK Athletics

Welcome to the Northern Police Cross Country League   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 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! New for 2021 we have created a Summer 10K Trail  Series. This year we  will have just three fixtures but hope to increase this to six in Summer 2022.   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   New XC Season - 2021/2022 All fixtures 1.30pm Start - Dates and venues now fixed  Venues to be confirmed - 11 League Fixtures including Nationals Proposed fixture dates: NOW CONFIRMED Fixture 1 - 6 October 2021 - North Yorkshire Taken Place Fixture 2 - 20 October 2021 - Cheshire Taken Place Fixture 3 – 3 November 2021 - Lancashire Taken Place Fixture 4 – 17 November 2021 - Cumbria Next Fixture 5 – 1 December 2021 - South Yorkshire Fixture 6 - 15 December 2021 - Derbyshire Fixture 7 - 12 January 2021 - Staffordshire (New Added) Fixture 8 – 19 January 2022 - West Yorkshire Fixture 9 – 9 February 2022 - Merseyside Fixture 10 – 23 February 2022 - Cleveland Fixture 11 – 16 March 2022 - PSUK - Humberside Fixture 12 – 30 March 2022 - GMP New! We have now implimented a new on-line entry system for all runners. Every runner must pre-enter. The cost is: All 12 Fixtures - £10 Up to 6 Fixtures - £6 Single Entry - £2 per race (Only permitted for one-off host runners) Pre-entry runners will receive a reusable race number. The pre-entry system allows us to monitor numbers attending and audit entries. This is in-line with government guidelines concerning races. Entry fees are being kept to a minimum and we hope to award a race memento at the end of the season to all those who have completed six of the 12 fixtures.
