Overview and Series Rules
The Wolves X-Country running series is a group of informal, low key cross-country running races. The six races and one relay are being held over a eight-week period beginning September 4. The Series has been set up to develop the sport of cross-country running in the Peace Country. The aim of the series is to encourage participation from athletes of all ages and ability levels.
