Note:

5-8 miles of hills, mud and water. The XC races can be very fun and enjoyable events, but are also a chance for runners to run as part of a team field where time does not count.
The overall league is scored on a positional basis; individual times are manually recorded and are used for the Lichfield Running Club’s trophy only.
Best 3 results to count. Single trophy on a handicap basis. An explanation of the handicap system can be found here.
Cross Country 2019/2020
The results below are for the 2019/20 internal Derby Runner Cross-Country league. Congratulations to Ruth Kennedy-Green on taking a superb first place, Joe Goodwin taking 2nd after a great consistent season & Richard Newman coming 3rd after some strong running.
The extended season (6 races this year as opposed to 4 last year) helped the team finish an excellent 3rd in the mixed standings. Both male and female teams finished 4th individually as well as prizes across the across the age groups. The results for the league are also attached
