Harriers Headlines
Mid Lancs XC at Rossall School, Fleetwood on Saturday 11th February 2017...details here!

DIRECTIONS: Leave the M55 at Junction 3 and take the A585 to Fleetwood. Continue for nearly 10 miles and turn left onto the B5409 Rossall Lane. The main gate into Rossall School is opposite where Rossall Lane meets Broadway but don't use this entrance. Turn left and enter the School by the southern gate. Be careful turning as this is a busy road.

Local runners will no doubt approach via the coastal road.

Parking: Parking is straight ahead from the gate. Follow marshals' instructions.

Registration: Registration at Mid Lancs HQ is in the sports pavilion. But go to the Preston HQ tent FIRST and please bring your number if you've run this season. If it's lost then don't produce a basic effort, please go to the Mid Lancs tent and get a decent copy.

Food for Sale: The Rossall catering staff are putting on food for sale in the dinning hall. There will be tea and coffee, chips, hot dogs etc. Bring money to support their efforts.

Toilets: Find six portable toilets behind the sports pavilion.

Care of School Property: Please keep mud out of buildings, don't cut corners on courses which is unfair to others and can damage sports pitches and wash dirty running gear at home.

Badges: Badges including year flashes for 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 will be on sale at Registration at £2 each for those who have four attendances in those seasons.

Compulsory Club Vests: All runners are expected to wear club vests.
