Are you missing the cross country season due to stupid COVID?
-
​
Do you fancy taking part in some friendly inter-club competition and
rivalry, and maybe even winning a genuine East Midlands XC medal - (courtesy of the East Mids league itself!)?
DO YOU WANNA GET MUDDY?!
-
IF YES CONTINUE READING TO FIND OUT HOW TO TAKE PART!
IMPORTANT! This is a free virtual event/challenge and as such anyone taking part will be doing so at their own risk! Please ensure that you've read and agree to the Terms and Conditions before hand. Safety is of the utmost, especially in these strange times so please act responsibly and always adhere to government guidelines in your area!
Thank you.
-
Remember, you are taking part at your own risk, there will be no marshals or first aiders to help if you get injured during your run so please be careful - Why not run with a friend to ensure your safety.
-
Please be mindful of others, these areas are open to everyone so please be courteous and give way to dog walkers, other runners and the general public.
-
Participants agree to fully comply with prevailing government guidelines whilst undertaking the challenge.
-
To take part, download the courses here then just run them in your own time, at your own pace.
-
The deadline to run all the courses is between now and the end February 2021 - so there's plenty of time to take part and you could even do them multiple times if you fancy trying for a PB and/or beating your mates and rivals in other clubs
-
Convention states that blokes do 2 lap whereas ladies run 1, but feel free to mix it up if you like! Or even run both short and long distances if you're feeling particularly hardcore 💪!
-
Once you've done your virtual XC, just upload your results here (if you've done the course a few times, your best time will be counted)
-
That's it! Remember to post your virtual XC running pics in the facebook group - the muddier the better! Let's see who will be crowned Virtual East Mids XC champs this winter! But above all stay motivated and HAVE FUN!
