Shinfield Junior Cross Country Races
11:30am Monday 5th May 2025

The Junior Cross Country Races take place in Langley Mead, which is a 5-minute walk from School Green via Millworth Lane. The races are held on rough alluvial pasture and flood plain alongside the River Loddon, so may well be wet and slippery underfoot. The grass may be long because of University of Reading experiments with rough pasture and wild flowers. There may also be potholes caused by cattle. The races are not chip-timed, and SMS results are not available.

- - 11:30am Blue race – Ages 4,5,6 – 2k, two laps.
  - 12:00noon Green race – Ages 7,8,9 – 2k, two laps.

Entry is £6 per runner in advance here at Entryhub https://www.entryhub.co.uk/2025-shinfield-10k or £8 on the day, subject to a limit of 350 runners. All junior runners will receive a medal, and there are trophies for the first three boys and girls in each race. Please note, there are no refunds in the event of race cancellation, or a runner withdrawing before the race for whatever reason.
