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 late September
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 on a Saturday due to increased popularity and to enable runners a better chance to attend the six required fixtures!
All information
about the league, past and present is contained in this website.
For further
information contact the League Secretary: Steve Broadbent
It has been a great
Season
Looking forward to the next half!!!
Five more to go at!

Training Advice on
Running
I don't profess to be
an expert but I run fairly high mileage each year and have competed in
many ultra distance events.
I have put together a

including cross country or improve their performance.
