SYCAA Cross Country 2011
Those of you who regularly run cross-country will know that this is the time of year when the rain stops and you can run over the ground without getting your feet wet. At least, that has (mostly) been the experience of the last few years.
The Up and Running South Yorkshire League
We have a new sponsor this year: Up and Running. We are very grateful to them for their support. Keep on Running has ceased trading, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their sponsorship of the cross country league over more seasons than I choose to remember. As usual, there are 4 league fixtures, with the final one also being the Championships. Entry for all 4 events is £6, which covers all four fixtures and numbers will be with Club Secretaries in the very near future. Possibly two new venues this year: Wentworth Castle, near Barnsley is a course on the parkland in front and to the side of the house. The Sheffield fixture may be a new venue too, but I am waiting to confirm this. The dates and venues for the League are:
Sunday 23 October Clifton Park, Rotherham
Sunday 13 November Wentworth Castle, Barnsley
Sunday 27 November Mount St Mary College, Spinkhill
Sunday 11 December Northern Racing College, Doncaster
The SYCAA XC Championships: 11 December
The usual reminder about the order of events being reversed at the Championships, with senior events taking place at the start of the programme. The other fixtures start with Under 11s.
Northern XC Relays (incorporating the SYCAA Relay Champs) 1 October
The second staging of the Northern Relay Championships is taking place at Graves Park (same course as last year) and will incorporate the SYCAA championships. Medals will be awarded to the first 3 South Yorkshire club teams in every age group, and the U11 events are open ONLY to South Yorkshire clubs. All entries via the Northern Athletics website.
