Northern Police Cross Country League 2022/2023 Season

Northern Police Cross Country League - 2022/2023 Season

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

There are now 12 Fixtures planned for 2022/2023. This includes the PSUK Nationals that may be included as one of the 12 counting fixtures.

The cost to enter all 12 is £1 per race! Police Forces sports Clubs will also contribute toward their own host races direct.

Your entry costs will go toward prizes and an end of season memento and race numbers etc.

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 three entry fees available:

• £12 for up to 12 Fixtures
• £8 for up to 6 Fixtures
• £4 for any one individual Fixture

If you intend to do more than one then we would prefer you to opt for the SIX fixture option.
