Don’t miss the closing date for the Welsh Cross Country Championships @ Pembrey Country Park
Saturday 25th January 2025 is the 120th Welsh Cross Country Championships that will take place at Pembrey Country Park, SA16 0EJ. The closing date for entries is Thursday 16th January @ 23:59. Swansea Harriers has had some successful team and individual results over the last few years, and we are hoping for one or two more medals this time around if we get another big turnout across all the age groups.
Swansea Harriers will pay for you to run. Please contact your team manager listed below well before the closing date so they have ample time to process your entry. Ensure you include your 7 digit URN number and date of birth so the manager has all the required information to complete your entry. A course map and timetable is shown on the images at the bottom of this post. On the 25th report to your team manager at the club tent no later than 1 hour before your race starts to collect your race number and so you have adequate time to park, warm up and walk the course.
