IOM Cross-Country League Round 2 – QEII School 01/11/26
Round 2 of the IOM Cross-Country League takes place on Sunday afternoon, hosted by Western AC at QEII High School in Peel. All are welcome. The minimum age for the under-eight race is six on the day of the race.
A minimum of three of the four rounds must be completed to count for the league, if all four rounds are completed the best three results count.
Those who have already entered the series or this specific race don’t need to do anything further, just turn up on the start line five minutes before your race wearing your number issued before the last race. Those who only selected the first race will need to enter again for the second race, and have the option to enter the remainder of the series.
If you have not yet competed in the series and have not picked up your race number you can collect it from the desk at the school between 12.15 and 1.30pm on race day. If you have lost your number and need a replacement (for a £2 charge) this can be collected from the desk.
Entries ahead of this round will close on Friday 30th October at 9pm.

The under-eight, U10 and U12 races use the school field only. The races for all ages from U14 upwards also use the school field, but then take the runners onto adjacent farmland which is undulating with some short sharp ups and downs. Each full lap takes the runners back round the school field.
Strictly no dogs are allowed on any part of the course. Spectators are asked to keep the course clear during the races.
