Event Description

Northern Police Cross Country League - 2025/2026 Season

We have now implimented an on-line entry system for the well established Northern Police Cross Country League.

There are 12 great fixtures planned for 2025/2026. This includes the PSUK Nationals that will be included as one of the 12 counting fixtures.

The cost to enter all 12 races is £20 which includes a designer Season Memento!

Note: The PSUK Race hosted by GMP also requires an additional National Race entry fee to take part.

Police Forces Sports Clubs will also contribute toward their own host races direct to provide post-race food and other facilities.

Your entry costs will go toward prizes, season memento, race numbers and any other event running costs. The League is non profit-making and all revenue is used to fund and support the races.

They all start at 1.30pm on a Wednesday. This mid-week time is best suited to Police Staff that has been successful for countless years.  

There are two entry fees available:

  • £20 for up to 12 Fixtures
  • £5 for any one individual Fixture

Your best FIVE fixtures will count towards points. Each race carries 100 points for 1st Male and Female, 99 for 2nd etc. Maximum points for the season will be 500.
