Cross Country

Southern Cross Country League

Every year we take part in the Southern Cross Country League (formerly known as the Today’s Runner Winter League) which is a great cross country series with runners from 24 clubs in Hampshire. Each season five or six cross country events are organised, each of approximately five miles. The season runs from October to March and events are approximately once a month over this period.

This is a very friendly series suitable for runners of all abilities.
There are some 300+ runners at each race and a team comprises 5 men and 3 women.

The official site can be found here.

ANOTHER GOOD DAY AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPSAfter a great race, Ben Pattison finished 4th in the Final of the UK Championship 800m. Finishing fast he couldn't quite catch the leaders down the home straight and placed just outside the medals in a time of 1.46:75. In a race where a fast pace was set throughout Ben showed great form and can look forward to the rest of season and no doubt lots of great performances.In the Women's final Gemma Finch was also with the leaders as they rounded the top bend but in the sprint for the tape was unable to maintain the speed needed and finished a good 6th in a time of 2.08:60. Also showing there is more to come. In the Women's Heptathlon, Higher Claim athlete Jordanna Morrish finished 4th with a new PB of 5211 points and indeed won the last event, the 800m in 2.20:09. While Laura Darcey after being DQ in the 200m on day 1, did for experience the Long Jump and Javelin but did not start the last event, saving her form for another day. ... See MoreSee Less
