XC Grand Prix Series
The XC Grand Prix series combines the essential ingredients of real running: varied terrain, natural surfaces and normally plenty of food. Run a few or complete all ten races in the series. Each XC is preceded by a kids’ race about 1* km in length. The Club plans to return to the events’ non-COVID protocol in the 2022-2023 season.
