Cross Country teams
Our Policy is to support English athletes in their ongoing development who are on an upward trajectory by offering opportunities and experience competing for England in international cross country competition either in the UK or abroad.
2023/2024 representative opportunities
The English Cross Country Association have now selected fixtures for representative teams for the coming winter. This has been based on the current domestic and championship fixture list with a view to trying to benefit those athletes who are likely to be either in contention, or on the fringe, of making the international championship teams.
