Welcome to the
Northern Police
Cross Country and Trail Leagues
The League formed in July 1967 and for over 57 years
has attracted runners from most of the police forces across the north of
England.
The league now stages 11/12 fixtures each season that starts in
early October through to late March. Each fixture attracts between 25 and 80
runners.
In recent years the league has gone from strength to
strength, despite the pressures of securing time-off from police duties. We
have recently added an 11th and 12th fixture that add a better chance to attend
the FIVE required fixtures to score maximum points!
Due
too falling numbers we decided to suspend the 'Trail' League. It was
felt that we may have too many fixtures on offer but will simply
continue to 'boulster' the original Winter Cross Country League.
All information about the XC League and Trail Series, past
and present is contained in this website.
For further information contact the League Secretary:
Steve Broadbent

You need to enter this race, and the following League races through our secure BookitZone Entry Portal. £15 for all 12 fixtures or each fixture costs £4 per race.
Final Results - 2023/2024 Season!
Here
are the final scores on the doors after a tremendous season! One or two
of the original prize categories awarded after the race on Wednesday
have changed slightly. This is as I explained, that it is to ensure
that all the 'age' categories are filed one way or another.
So
runners may well qualify for two prizes but will only take one. This is
to allow a fair distribution of prizes overall. Without having my
computer to hand soon after the race it isn't always easy to determine
precise final position.
In short, all those who completed FIVE fixtures qualified for a prize this year!
Team Results
The team results were close and it was down to the last race to decide 1st and 2nd. The difference was a matter of one point!
1st Mixed Team - Cheshire
2nd Mixed Team - Humberside
3rd Mixed Team - Lancashire
Best Attendance of the Season
To make up for Humberside coming team runner-up, they undoubtedly provided the best attendance at all 11 races this season:
1st Humberside - 97 Attendees - Spot Prize Awarded
2nd - Lancashire 69 Attendees
3rd - Cheshire 41 Attendees
Finally....
Well
done to everyone who has supported the League this season. Whether you
have attended one race or most of the races, your support is always
valued as it ensures the League can continue going forward. Please
continue to give it your best support and spread the word among
colleagues!!!
