Cross Country
SLH is ideally located for Cross Country training and being a Harriers club it has always been one of its most popular activities.
The Coulsdon clubhouse being located within walking distance of Farthing Downs and with the North Downs just a little further afield the club offers great potential for variety in its cross country training runs.
From Spring to Autumn the Tuesday and Thursday training runs are often over classic cross country routes of varying distances to cater for all abilities.
Visitors alike are welcome to join our sessions. See the training page for more detail.
Our athletes compete in local, regional and national cross country events from all sections of the club. We have a very strong ladies team with great depth at present. The men’s team is always seeking to progress and both battle hard in the highly competitive Surrey League.
The Crystal Palace section of the club supports and coaches our young athletes who continue to make great acheivements for the club.
All are welcome to participate in the cross country training and events. More detail about events are listed below in the fixtures and results section.
The club arrange two open Cross Country races which take place in the beautiful Farthing Downs. These are ’The Gibb’ a 5 mile event and ‘The Pirie’ a 10 mile event. Both are classic courses. Details on how to enter these events are posted elsewhere on the website.
