LSAA Cross Country League 2023/24

Saturday 9th December at GSAL.

Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that due to the current and expected weather conditions, as well as the current course conditions at GSAL, we have decided to cancel all primary races scheduled for Saturday. However, the senior school races for the West Yorkshire Trails will still take place. This decision was not taken lightly, but we believe it’s in the best interest of the pupils, school, and the event to prioritize the trails.
The Primary League Team and Individuals results will be decided on the best 3 results from 4 races

Following a couple of questions from colleagues. Please treat the times on the course map as very approximate. As always the first race will aim to set off on time 1pm on this occasion after that the next race will start as soon as the course is clear. Also after checking with Pat some races have low entries so we might well amalgamate boys and girls starts. Athletes should ensure they are on site and warmed up ready for when called.
