Frequently Asked Questions
How to I take part?
You'll be taking part in this virtual challenge at your own risk so please read through the terms and conditions before going ahead. Once you're happy with this, just download the courses and run them in your own time, on your own or with friend(s) - ensuring you're following local area COVID guidelines and restrictions! Once you've completed a course, just upload your results here!
Do I have to be a member of a club to participate?
No, you can take part just for fun! But if you are a member of a running club, the interclub rivalry will add that extra competitive spirit to it! As this is a virtual free event/challenge, individuals and unafilliated clubs can also take part too!
How long is this challenge for?
The actual East Midlands Cross Country races usually begin in January through to beginning of February. As this is a virtual event, it will start from now until the end of February 2021, which will give you plenty of time to take part!
Are there any prizes/awards?
Yes! The prize is that feeling of a run well ran and the award is that you're getting out and about and hopefully de-stressing from what must be said has been a very stressful year thus far!
... Also, there may be a chance of getting hold of some actual East Mids bling! 😉
