Northern Police Cross Country League

Welcome to the

Northern Police Cross Country and Trail Leagues

The League formed in July 1967 and for over 57 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 25 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 FIVE required fixtures to score maximum points!

Due too falling numbers we decided to suspend the 'Trail' League. It was felt that we may have too many fixtures on offer but will simply continue to 'boulster' the original Winter Cross Country League.

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