WCAC Schools Cross-country Series
West Cheshire AC aims to encourage participation in cross-country by inviting primary and secondary schools within Chester, Ellesmere Port and Neston to participate in four rounds of informal races for girls and boys, years 3 to 8. All races are on Saturday mornings over a short, flat course at Ellesmere Port Sports Village (ex-Stanney Oaks Leisure Centre), Stanney Lane, Ellesmere Port CH65 9JN, and are free to enter. 2016-17 dates are as follows:
Round 1 October 8 2016
Round 2 November 12 2016
Round 3 February 11 2017
Round 4 March 4 2017
To avoid congestion, please allow plenty of time before the start of the race for which you wish to register children; priority is given to year 3, as these are the first two races.

Each participating school should provide an adult representative (e.g. teacher or parent) at each round to register and pick up their runners’ race numbers. The race number must be safety-pinned to the front of the runner's vest or t-shirt.
- Medals will be awarded to the first three finishers in each race
- The finishing positions of a school's first three runners will count towards the team score in each race
- A team's best three scores over the four rounds will count towards the team's overall finishing position
- A runner's best three finishing positions over the four races will count towards their overall score at the end of the series
