If you want to get muddy! Here are some hints and tips for cross country racing:
- You must wear your club vest not covered by any other clothing.
- Crop tops are not considered enough when the weather becomes colder – you will see many of the men wearing thermals under their club vests.
- Safety Pins, 4 for Championships - To pin your Number on the front of your vest. Pin at the sides or in the corners.
- Trainers need to be studded or replace your 5mm track spikes [Grease the spike threads before you screw them in.] with 9mm or longer.
- It depends on how soft the ground is and how much hard area you have to cross.
- Get there early and look by walking the course.
- Showers? Not often but bring an old towel to rub the mud off plus a change of clothing and clean shoes to go home in.
