The senior men and women kick off their XC league campaigns this weekend at Newbold Comyn, Leamington. The women race at 1.30, the men race at 2.30.

For those who have not run at Leamington before, the course is “a good challenge” and includes a bit of mud, a steep energy sapping hill and a stream crossing. Click here to see the senior men tackle the stream last year. The course is being run anticlockwise this year.

Race information is available on the Birmingham XC League website here. Good luck everyone!
