Borders XC

Paxton House 12th January 2025

Paxton House, 

Paxton, Berwick-upon-Tweed, TD15 1SZ

Sunday 12th January 2025

Junior race 11:15am. Senior race 12 noon.

Once again, we look forward to welcoming everyone to Paxton House for the Norham Running Club round of the Border XC series, as ever thanks must go to the Home-Robertson family and their staff for generously allowing us access to the grounds and surrounding farm/woodlands. 

Catering:

We are also grateful to the staff at the tearoom for opening from 10.00am especially for the event, serving teas, coffee, soup, rolls etc. please show them your support.

Parking:

At the moment it looks likely that we will be able to use the grass area beside the house for parking, hopefully this will still be the case on the day, if not we will revert to parking on the drive & roadsides, please car share where possible, arrive early and park where instructed, above all please avoid parking on the mown verges near the farm & entrance to Paxton House.

Route:

Both Senior & Junior routes will consist of the usual mixture of parkland, fields, stream crossing(s) and woodland/riverside paths. Conditions at the moment are hard frost but this may change on the day.

Seniors, please pay particular attention to the Junior race as their course will be your first lap before heading off on your second loop! 

When warming up stick to the marked route on the farm/woodland and try to avoid using the toilets whilst wearing muddy footwear. 

Please note that under no circumstance will washing shoes in the toilets be tolerated!!!

We hope that enjoy your day,

Norham Running Club
