This year’s Midland Cross Country Championships is due to take place this Saturday at Wollaton Park, Nottingham.

Heanor Running Club is set to be well-represented across various age categories, with races commencing from 11:30am.

In wet and wild conditions twelve months ago, the yellow and blue figured prominently at Leamington Spa as four men finished inside the top-25 and Lisa Palmer in 14th led the way in the senior events.

HRC will be competing on a course they know well this weekend having competed twice there already this month. 2015 kicked off with the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire XC Championships at Wollaton Park before the venue played host to the final North Midlands XC League fixture.

Directions from Heanor HERE.

Please note that car parking is Pay and Display (£2 for 3 hours and £4 all day).
