Hampshire Cross Country Championships
THE cross country season is here and one of the highlights of the season are the Hampshire Cross Country Championships.
After a squelching, rain-hit championships in Basingstoke earlier this January, and following previous championship races at Staunton Park in Havant, the 2008 county championships return to the New Forest for the New Year.
They take place at Dibden Inclosure near Applemore Leisure Centre on Saturday, January 5th. Just off the A326, both the leisure centre and Applemore College next door will provide changing and car parking facilities. The championships were last staged there in 2005 and are once again being organised by Hardley Runners.
Stubbington Green Runners who want to take part have to enter in advance with the deadline for entries on December 8th.
The cost is £4 per person, but if you want to run please contact Stubbington Green cross country captain, Tim Crumpton, to let him know and he can sort out the entry for you. Tim's e-mail address is: timothy.crumpton@ntlworld.com
