The North Eastern Harrier League (NEHL) is the local cross-country league for the region. Participating in league events is a great way to meet clubmates during the autumn and winter months, for which the club covers ALL entry costs. You’ll receive a single race number which you retain throughout the season – don’t lose it though; a replacement will cost YOU a fiver!
All races count towards league points for the club apart from the annual Sherman Cup/Davison Shield event. This is a championship event in the league for which the scoring is slightly different. League races are based on a handicap system with slow, medium and fast packs.
In addition are the championship events outside the league itself, for which the club also pays your entry fee. These include:
- Northern Athletics XC Relay Championships
- National XC Relay Championships
- North Eastern Championships
- Northern Championships
- NEMAA Championships
- National Championships
- BMAF Championships
Event dates, age group start times and rules are available on the league’s website while day-to-day information is available on the NEHL Facebook page. Seniors can register for league and championship events via their respective cross-country captain while juniors would contact their coach.
