PECO XC League 2025-26 Race 3

About this race

The PECO XC League 2025-26 Race 3, scheduled for January 4, 2026, at West Park and Beckett Park in Leeds, marks a pivotal stage in the local cross country season. Organised by EvenSplits, this event is the third in a series, highlighting competitive club-level racing and drawing a strong field of runners from across the region. Participants should prepare for a classic cross country challenge across the varied terrain of West Park and the notoriously undulating Beckett Park. The course typically features a mix of grassy fields, muddy trails, and significant ascents and descents, providing a true test of stamina and agility. Given the early January date, runners should anticipate cold, potentially wet, and very muddy conditions, making appropriate trail or cross country footwear essential for traction and stability. As Race 3 of the PECO XC League, this event is more than just an individual race; it's a crucial scoring opportunity for both individual runners and their affiliated clubs within the season-long competition. This fosters a vibrant atmosphere of friendly rivalry and camaraderie, making it a highly anticipated fixture for the local running community.
