About the event
National Cross Country Relays – Mansfield
The National Cross Country Relays at Berry Hill Park, Mansfield, are one of the most exciting fixtures of the winter season. Bringing together clubs from all over the UK, this event delivers high-energy racing and a true showcase of cross country talent.
Teams of athletes compete over a series of short, sharp relay legs on a challenging course that includes fast grass sections, twists through woodland, and plenty of mud. The atmosphere is electric, with hundreds of club vests on display and non-stop support around the course.
For Portsmouth AC, the event is about more than just racing – it’s a chance to compete as a team, represent the club on a national stage, and be part of one of the biggest gatherings of cross country runners in the country. If you are interested in this race, please speak to your coach.
