Cross Country - Introduction
Cornwall Athletic Club has traditionally been very strong at Cross Country, both in the Junior and Senior ranks. Many of the club's youngsters have competed for Cornwall and even for England at school's level and Jon Richards, Mark King and David Buzza have represented Great Britain at the Senior World Cross Country Championships.

The club competes in the Westward League, South West Championships, South of England Championships, National Championships and the club's top runners represent Cornwall at the Inter Counties Championships.
Cornwall Athletic Club organises the final Westward League event of the season at Redruth School and arranges mini buses to take their runners to the four Devon based fixtures.
We are consistently one of the top South West clubs, both in Junior and Senior ranks, for males and females.
The main training night for both cross country and road running is on Tuesdays at the Carn Brea Leisure Centre, where a structured training programme is provided. (To download your copy click here) Well qualified coaches are available for youngsters from 9 - 18 years old, in addition to the large multi club session for Seniors. Everyone is welcome and well catered for, from beginners to international standard athletes.
Other training runs and sessions are arranged in smaller groups during the week.
