2026-2027 Cross County

Season Update

This year we welcome New Club Captains Chris Rance and Lucy Wilkes, after the successful 3 year tenier of Keith and Liz.

As the nights draw in, temperatures start to fall, and the leaves begin to turn; it can only mean one thing; the Cross Country season is just around the corner.

Our first fixture will be at Lloyd Park on Saturday 4th October in the East Surrey League.

Although dates and venues are still unconfirmed, the first race of the Surrey League XC will be on Saturday 11th October, the races being held on the second Saturday of the month in October, November, January and February.

Last XC season was one of the most successful for the club, the ladies finishing well in Division 2, and the men topping Division 4 to start the new season in Division 3.

For those who haven’t experienced the LRC XC vibe yet, here’s what you can expected. A chauffeur driven experience to the race venue in the Lingfield Minibus (13 seats available), a generously sized tent for changing and kit storage, great support and camaraderie, tea, coffee, cake, and more.

There are no entry fees.

Please let Lucy and Chris know if you’re interested and we’ll make sure that you’re in our respective XC WhatsApp groups and have a run number allocated.

There are two rules for participation;

  1. You must be registered with England Athletics
  2. You must wear a Lingfield Running Club vest or T-shirt

Please watch this space for more details as and when we get them.

Other dates for your XC diary: TBC
