The Suffolk Cross Country League is a series of six races run during the winter months. Held on Sunday mornings it is only open to paid up members of Suffolk running clubs.

Junior age groups (U17, U15, U13) are determined by the runners’ age on 1st September 2025.
Senior age groups are determined by the runners’ age on the date of the first race in the series (6th November 2025). The minimum age is 11 years on 1/9/25.  Juniors are 11 -17 inclusive. Over 17s are classed as Seniors and run the Senior event in the Under 20 category up to the day before their 20th birthday.  After that they run as Seniors.

Some (not all) venues have an under-11s race, these races are not included in the series and do not score points.

All races are held on Sundays at 11am and cost £5 per person payable on the day to the Team Captains.  All you need to do to enter is book onto TEAMAPP and turn up at the venue in your Stowmarket Striders team kit, see Team Captains, and pay £5 to enter.  You can still turn up on the day if you wake up and decide to come along but please remember to book on the app before you arrive.  Hot drinks and cakes are available afterwards!  You can try one event, or join in them all.

Junior races usually start at 10.45am and Under 11’s are free to enter, .   Over 11 races start shortly after are £2 to enter.

Race distances are around 5 miles for adults, 4km or 2.5 miles maximum for juniors.

To qualify for individual prizes, athletes must compete at 4 out of the 6 races.
