Ryde Harriers : Isle of Wight Cross Country Championship
Ryde Harriers organise the Isle of Wight Cross Country Championship at Smallbrook Stadium, Ryde, PO33 4BH. For 2027 the event is a single cross-country race rather than a series of three races. Entry is open to all runners and there is an entry limit of 150. The published entry fee is £10 and online entry and payment are preferred; on-the-day entry accepts card payments only.
The course information notes a 270 m section of road with a narrow verge near the start and finish, plus two road crossings that will not be carpeted. Cross-country spikes may be used at the runner’s discretion; trail or fell shoes are recommended. The course will be marked with arrows and tape and runners must check for traffic at road and rail crossings. Competitors should keep to the marked edges of fields and close gates after use.
Safety and venue details: in-ear or over-ear headphones are not permitted, bone conduction headphones are allowed, and dogs are not permitted. Changing and shower facilities are available at the venue and limited free parking is provided. All U20, senior and veteran categories run a 10 km course while U18 categories run a 6.5 km course with a turnaround by the duck pond.
