England Cross Country Association have now selected fixtures for representative teams for the coming winter. This has been based on the current domestic and championship fixture list with a view to trying to benefit those athletes who are likely to be either in contention, or on the fringe, of making the international championship teams.

Our Policy is to support English athletes in their ongoing development who are on an upward trajectory by offering opportunities and experience competing for England in international cross country competition either in the UK or abroad.

Athletes are expected to have competed at Liverpool in the European Cross Trial in 2023, or if unable to do so demonstrated personal ambition by competing previously in the National Cross Country Championship or European Cross Country Trial.

Note: Selections will be made 3 weeks before each event and an ‘expression of interest’ to be submitted via the appropriate form on the England Athletics /ECCA website or via email to team manager for each event.
