North Wales Cross Country League

Welcome to the “David Alun Williams North Wales Cross Country League in association with Grand Prix Express“

In 1999, Ian Pierce became the first North Walian in 122 years to win the Welsh Senior Men’s Cross Country Champs. I caught up with him.

Thanks to some great help from Mike Lamb, West Cheshire, the history of the League has now been updated to the 1959/60 season. Clearly there are a few gaps so if you can help fill any of the gaps let me know. These are detailed in the History of North Wales Cross Country Page https://www.northwalesxc.com/history-of-north-wales-cross-country/

CANCELLATION OF 2020/21 NORTH WALES CROSS COUNTRY SEASON Unfortunately due to ‘normality’ unlikely to return until the spring, we have had to cancel the 2020/21 season. Sadly I can also confirm that there will be no North Wales Cross Country Championships this year. We hope you are all keeping safe and look forward to seeing you later in 2021 when we will hopefully have some exciting new venues to race at. On a more positive note, I can confirm that in association with Welsh Athletics we will be holding an Inter Club Junior Cross Country Trial (u11, u13, & u15) at Wrexham on 23rd January 2021. Look out for further details coming soon.

The AGM was held via zoom on Friday 2 October and provisional dates for January, February and March 2020 where agreed. Minutes of the meeting can be accessed here: NWCCA-AGM-minutes-2020-1Download

A new page, History of North Wales Cross Country, has been developed and includes the history of the North Wales Cross Country Association; North Wales Cross Country Champions since 1955; and Spotlights with Claire Martin and Roger Harrison-Jones. It will also include press cuttings from various people’s archives!! https://www.northwalesxc.com/history-of-north-wales-cross-country/
