Sunday League cross country - 15 January in Watford

The next Sunday league cross country will be at 10:30am on Sunday 15 January in Watford

About the Sunday League

The Sunday League offers the chance for some good old-fashioned cross country running in the countryside. The League is friendly whilst still competitive and a great way to spend a Sunday morning. In Sunday League races, men and women run together over the same distance. The races attract a wide age and ability range and are ideal as a first experience of cross country running for those who are new to it.

All entries are taken on the day. However, if you intend to run, it would be helpful if you could add your name to the Serpie planner so we have an idea of how many people are planning to be there. Also, please wear a Serpie top.

Location

Cassiobury Park, Langley Way, Watford WD18 7HY

The course

Both women and men will run approximately 5 miles. A short section of grass then tarmac followed by two complete laps of the woods, which may be muddy, with some hills, then a return up the big hill to the finish. Runners can look forward to some mud and trees!

The course will be marked and marshalled.
