This would be suitable for newcomers to cross country who may not feel ready to tackle the full age group distances, or perhaps for track runners who are looking to build endurance over the winter. All are welcome, especially newcomers. Scoring will be the same as last season, with double points being awarded for the Championship event on 24th January. To complete the series, you must either: 1 – Do the Championship Round and a minimum of 2 others, or 2 – If you miss the Championship Round, all of the other 4 events must be completed. Further information will follow as the series approaches.
