Stockton Striders Cross Country Taster Session
Hi everyone,
On Tuesday 5th August, we will be hosting a Cross Country Taster Session at Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park, ahead of the cross country season starting in October.
The purpose of the session is to give members who have never tried cross country a feel for what the events are like. However, seasoned XC pros are encouraged to come along too, to take part and share their experience.
The course is on trail and will be between 3.3 and 3.5 miles. There will be marshals on the course and a tail runner.
Once entries for the session have closed on Gymcatch, we will assign race numbers to all runners and divide participants into teams of 3 or 4. We will try and make sure that the teams are as fair as possible. At the end of the run, we will record everyone’s finishing position.
After everyone has finished, we’ll total the finishing positions for each team—the team with the lowest combined score wins. This mirrors the scoring system used in cross country events. There will be a prize for each member of the winning team.
However we want to stress that this event is open for people of all abilities. It’s about having fun and enjoying yourselves.
The session will start at 18:30, so please arrive by 18:15 to collect your race number and allow time to warm up.
