The race held this year oop north in Durham in East Hardwick Park, Sedgefield, County Durham. Organised in partnership with Sedgefield Harriers and supported by Durham County Council, the championships are sponsored by SportsShoes.com and will take place on Saturday 21 February. The event was last staged in North East England in 2013 and will be returning to County Durham for the first time in 25 years.

Steve Gaines, ECCA president, comments: “Sedgefield has already demonstrated that it has the ability and desire to stage major cross country events. While the English National Cross Country Championships will represent a significant step up, we know that East Park can deliver a great course and we have excellent local partners in Sedgefield Harriers and Durham County Council. ECCA, along I’m sure with event sponsor portsShoes.com – a northern company itself – will be delighted to bring the championships back to the North East. It is a region that is passionate about sport and has a long and rich heritage of athletics, including many past race winners in these championships. Sedgefield is easy to reach from every direction, so we look forward to welcoming runners from around England
for an excellent event next February.”
