About Cross Country
Each winter Ware Joggers enter a cross country league with a number of clubs from the area. Each club hosts one race of approximately 5 miles over the course of the season and the total scores from all 5 races determine the winners of the league.
The first 8 men (including 2 vets) and the first 8 ladies (including 2 vets) from each club score points based on their overall finishing position. Even when not scoring directly, you can still influence the result if one or more of the other clubs have not reached their full quota of scoring runners.
All club members are welcome to take part in the races and there is no cost to enter (but bring £1 for post run tea and cake!). To score you must wear a Ware Joggers club vest. Approriate cross country shoes are advisable as it does get quite muddy.
Whether you're chasing the front pack or chatting your way round at the back, cross country is for every runner — mud cares nothing for your pace.
