Mini League Cross Country
Winter is a time for muddy fun. RAC competes in the Nottinghamshire Mini League Cross-Country series and has experienced huge success in the event. Distances vary from 1.5km (under 11’s) to 4km (under 15’s), so there isn't a huge amount of hanging around. You can just turn up, run and if you wish you can be away very quickly.
When: Five fixtures between October and February each year. One fixture per month.
Where: Nottinghamshire
Ages: U11 to U15
Entry Cost: Covered by the club

When: January each year
Where: Nottinghamshire, typically Wollaton Park or Derbyshire, typically Shipley Park. Rotates each year.
Ages: U13 to seniors
Entry Cost: Covered by the Athlete. Athletes to self-register
North Midlands Cross Country League
The North Midlands series runs from October to January with races on Saturdays involving teams from across the midlands. The league offers a higher standard of competition than the Mini League XC. However, don’t let that put you off. ALL RAC athletes (INCLUDING ADULTS- MALE AND FEMALE!) are welcome to attend and the club will cover the cost of entries.

East Midlands Cross Country League
The League involves a series of 4 races on Sunday mornings running from Nov-March involving teams from the Nottingham and Derby area.
