AAI are still considering candidate venues.

I believe the change was requested by the National Endurance coach in order to allow a longer gap before the European cross country fixture on 8th December.

I presume the course in St.Annes for the Novice will be the same as the Masters was earlier this year?

Very good, any idea what venues are being considered....

Hopefully won't have to travel half the country for the nationals, somewhere nice and central will be grand

Anyone have any ideas on who the candidates are? Apparently their gone even stricter with selecting venues now.

Is there a list of any other countys XC fixtures anywhere? Tipperary especially. Hoping to run Novices this year. Also any tips for training and prepping for XC?
thanks

I will be concentrating alot on the XC for the next few months. Its all new to me, but I've been doing nearly all my running on grass this summer so I should be in respectable shape.
I just got my first pair of spikes yesterday. I haven't run in 2 days so haven't used them yet. I have my first race next weekend. Should I get a few runs in with them beforehand?
I'm interested to hear how people here feel after completing a season of XC. Do you feel much stronger when you get back onto the roads/track? I think that it will be good to get variety; XC, roads, and eventually the track. You won't get bored thats for sure.

Galway XC is 6th October in Bushfield, Loughrea AC grounds.

ANy update on where the Nationals will be held this year and Novices ..??

Maybe do a short run in the spikes just to make sure they don't rub anywhere, and maybe a few strides as well. I think it's great to mix in a bit of cross country, it teaches you how to race because times go out the window and you just worry about beating the guy in front of you. And you should have a little bit of extra strength at the end of the season which should benefit your road running.

Some changes to the list above -

The Dublin Uneven Age Championship is on Sunday December 1st, in Tymon Park, starting at 11am.
The Dublin Intermediates are later that day, 2.30 for women, 2.50 for men.

I'm not a member of an athletics club but I would like to do some XC racing over the winter. Can I enter any of these races or am I limited to BHAA events? Any other options?

I can no longer edit my first post. It would be great if a mod would edit the first post and put all these other fixtures and changes in wouldn't it?

RacoonQueen · 22-09-2013 4:45pm

I dont think you can run a national cross country race indoors!

Anyway the Santry Demense was decided in late August as the venue for inter counties

So the Juvenile Even age XC All Irelands are going to be in Santry as well, is it flat or hilly course?

acoghlan · 25-09-2013 10:01pm

Overheard Dungarvan being mentioned..... So another voyage awaits.

mossym · 27-09-2013 12:46pm

what's the story with the xc races? are they open to all? looking mainly at the munster races, but they mainly seems to be some sort of championship, i'm only looking for a bit of muddy running to give it a go!!

Are you a member of a club? Anyone in a club can run any of the championship races, the club will enter you into them.

mossym · 27-09-2013 12:55pm

no, not a club member.

PVincent · 02-10-2013 7:41am

I se it's €20 to run the Gerry Farnan this year. Not cheap.....I know it is a great day of racing but! Interesting noises apparently from the Opw about races in the park and damage caused by them ( according to Lindie Naughton)

OPW are being very arsy about races in the park at the moment.

Edit: Dublin Athletics site still being down is pretty poor considering there is a race in a few days.
