TODAYS RUNNER XC
Out of all the cross country events, the Todays Runner series offer the best courses and they can be quite demanding! There are normally 6 races starting in October and finishing in March. All runners must wear a club vest. All races start at 11am.
The guideline for speed is 5:30 minute mile pace for men and 6:00 minute mile pace for women.
| Men | Women | |
| 5m | 27.30 | 30.00 |
| 10k | 34.11 | 37.17 |
| 10m | 55.00 | 60.00 |
Any runner who achieves this pace over a measured distance of 5 miles or over during the 12 months prior to the first race is ineligible. A team to comprise the first 5 scoring men and first 3 scoring women.
Todays Runner races are organised by John Tussler and are a very relaxed affair with the speedy runners being banned!! John can be contacted at 02392 347962 or here - john_tussler@hotmail.com.
