Reasons to run Cross Country

Real distance runners run XC... mud, hills, etc., running up (and over) and running down (and over), gasp, remember how to breathe and save some air for the finishing sprint ... Success in cross country will lead to success on the roads ... Running cross country will help lengthen your career as a runner

Cross country runners run cross country because they just plain love it.

How the Series Works

Overview
The Lower Mainland JD & U16 Cross Country Series provides an opportunity for Junior Development and U16 athletes age 9-15 to compete in a number of cross country races throughout the fall/winter season. Use the Series to prepare for Championship races!

The Junior Development & U16 Series consists of 6 races from September 20th to December 6th. All races are sanctioned by BC Athletics.

Runners will be scored on their 4 best performances. A minimun of 4 races must be completed to qualify for the awards. 

The points are assigned as follows: 1st = 30 points, 2nd = 27, 3rd = 25, 4th = 23, 5th = 21, 6th to 25th each place drops 1 point.

Runners must compete in the appropriate allocated race in order to score in their series. For example, if a junior runner elects to compete in a separate senior race then he/she cannot score in a separate age-appropriate event on the same day.

Series Categories and Awards

The series age categories are based on the year of birth: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Medals will be awarded to the top 3 BC Athletics members boys and girls in each age group.

Each BCA member club's 20 best individual points will be scored from each race, and accumulated to determine the winner of the Series Club Challenge Trophy.
