Cross Country - Sunday League, Willian

Sunday Cross Country League 3 at Willian, START TIME 10am

The Course: Both women and men will run approximately 5 miles. There will be short run out from the start then two laps. Following this runners will return to the initial start location for the finish.

The course is mostly on well-maintained trails which are part of the Letchworth Greenway. There is a very short section on road which cannot be avoided.

It is suitable for trail shoes or trainers – spikes are inadvisable as approx. half of the course is on harder trails.

 

All parts of the route are on public land and therefore walkers, bikers etc may be on or near the course. There will be plenty of marshals to ensure the safety of runners however please be polite and respectful of the local community at all times.

 

Race HQ: The Fox pub in Willian has kindly agreed to be Race HQ.

PLEASE REMOVE MUDDY SHOES ETC BEFORE ENTERING THE BUILDING

There will be toilets available as well as hot drinks on sale before the race from 9am. The garden area will be used as a meeting point for teams and flags etc may be set up as usual if you wish.

There is a short walk / jog to the start (shown on the map) so please arrive as early as possible. Some of this is on road, although the verge will be as short as possible.
