These Leagues are intended to enable athletes, young and old, to both train and become familiar with Cross-Country running, before the start of the Cross-Country season. If you've never tried Cross-Country, the leagues also provide an ideal platform to try out Cross-Country running. There are many clubs who don't have much, or even any, presence at Cross-Country Championships - it would be great to see these clubs represented in the leagues. Do Try it - Guaranteed you'll come away looking for more!

Intentions of Leagues
- To help athletes get into a routine for cross country training
- To allow athletes measure their progression over the three League events
- To give athletes an opportunity to train as a group, instead of on their own, as often happens, particularly in smaller clubs
- To allow Cork athletes to prepare better for the Cross-Country season, and be ready to compete with the best in Ireland
- To make new friends during the Leagues, so that, on competition day, they will have familiar athletes beside them, helping promote team spirit and sportsmanship
- To remove the championship element
