Most of the cross country races on the calendar are inter club only and are not open to non-club runners. For this unique event on the CIT grounds on
Friday evening the 11th of December 2015, anyone can take part.
As you can see on the photo below, the course is on very short grass so
it's not the usual type of cross country race with hills and mud. As
such, people do not need spikes or any type of special shoes to take
part and you can wear your usual runners if you want to.
