Monkhall Cross Country - this Sunday...

We are hosting the next Herefordshire Cross Country  league race which takes place at Monkhall Farm, near Dewsall Court HR2 8DA this  Sunday 12th January at 11.00

A new course of about 6.2 miles - slightly less than last year. 

This map of last years course gives you an idea of the challenge ahead. This years course is similar but different - we have cut a bit off the second lap - but then added a bit on at the end for luck It will make sense on the day!

The race success depends on a good turnout of marshals - we need about 15 volunteers. Please contact Paul Bouston via Facebook Messenger or at the club if you can help.
