ndellar Nov 2020 6:52pm, 2 Nov 2020 3,783 posts	ndellar Yes N Staffs included Park Hall, Stafford Common and Westwood High (Leek) latterly changed to Uttoxeter racecourse. All proper courses, not football pitch laps!

larkim Mar 2021 9:52pm, 9 Mar 2021 13,699 posts	larkim Cheshire has announced XC champs to take place, licenced, as planned on 17th April. Pretty surprised tbh, though tempted to run. Will be interesting to read how they plan to arrange it.
oi you Oct 2021 9:08pm, 16 Oct 2021 493 posts	oi you Kent XC League made a very welcome return today after missing all of last season. It was my first race since Dec '19 and my first as M70. No big surprise - it was tough. It was only 5k (ish) so I did try to press on a bit, so it was all a bit uncomfortable. But that's racing, eh? Next outing is next Saturday on a somewhat tougher course.
