The club participate in the Southern Cross Country League (SCCL).  The league is a series of cross country races held on Sundays from October to March, involving local running clubs.

Courses are a mixture of woodland trails and parkland, usually 5 miles in length and organised by the clubs in the league.  There are usually between 300 and 500 runners taking part.

Men and women compete in the same race with the first 4 men and first 4 women from each club scoring points.

All abilities take part and even non-scorers can affect the result by getting ahead of scorers from other clubs.

This year, participation in the SCCL races automatically enters each athlete into the club's own internal league with points being awarded for participation and results.  This means you don't have to be a really fast runner to be in with a chance of receiving an award at the club awards evening.

There is a speed limit to prevent the fastest racing snakes from taking part.  These limits apply races of 5 miles or more run in the preceding season.

For the ladies it's 6' 00" per mile  . This equates to 30' 00" for a race of 5 miles , 37' 15" for a 10km and 60' 00" for a 10 mile race. 

For the men it's 5' 30" per mile ; equating to 27' 30" for a 5 mile race , 34' 09" for a 10km and 55' 00" for 10 miles.

The club have a Liss Runners Southern XC WhatsApp group for all SCCL logistics.
