Cross Country
The Thames Valley Cross Country (TVXC) League
Races are open to all members of Burnham Joggers and consist of 5-6 miles of off-road fun with cake and tea at the finish. What more could you want?!
Races usually start at 11am on a Sunday and are free for Club Members. Guests can run for £6 per race. Please run in Club kit.
For anyone new to cross-country, here’s a few tips to bear in mind:
- Wear trail or cross-country shoes with lugs (not road shoes) to avoid slipping and sliding
- Don’t worry about your speed – the races include all standards of runner
- There’s no shame in walking up the steeper hills
- Don’t be concerned about getting wet and muddy – it will happen anyway
- Wear race clothing appropriate to the weather conditions (base layer, hat, sleeves, gloves, leggings etc)
- Bring extra clothes to keep warm and dry before and after the race
No headphones can be worn at any cross-country event – even bone conducting ones. A runner will be disqualified if wearing them.
The TVXC Competition is a plastic free event. All runners are to bring their own re-usable mug and plate please.
This is primarily a competition between the 15 clubs who are members of the league. The latest interclub standings can be viewed here. We also run an internal club league for both men and women, with members’ best five results of the season counting towards the standings.
