oi you Dec 2012 11:28am, 24 Dec 2012 111 posts	oi you Well, 15k is around 9.3 miles, and SEAA bill it as 15k. All distances are "ish" when it comes to cross-country
SPR Dec 2012 11:36am, 24 Dec 2012 17,801 posts	SPR 12km is about 7.5 miles though...
oi you Dec 2012 11:48am, 24 Dec 2012 112 posts	oi you whoops - I was checking that Nationals and hadn't meant to post that. Anyway, the entry form on on the ECCA site has the Men's race at 12k. I seem to recall someone from SEAA taking some pride in being the only regional still doing the 15k distance. I mut admit I've never checked other events to see what they're doing.
