The AAI National Novice & Juvenile UA XC Champs will take place on Sunday, 09-Dec-2012, hosted by Adamstown A.C., Co. Wexford. The Juvenile events get under way at 11.30am with the Novice Women up at 2.45pm and the Men at 3pm. Do allow time for some slippage either way! The championship course is on the lands of Gavin & Stuart Rothwell and has hosted Leinster Cross Country Championships in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Please remember to keep the site litter free and bring any rubbish away with you. As with the Curragh last year, this course appears to be relatively flat, so you can expect the Novice races to be fast and furious.

Late Update
Adamstown A.C. advises athletes/spectators to allow an extra 30min travel time to the Championships, to allow for minor traffic delays, parking and a maximum 10/15min walk to registration and course. A traffic plan will be in operation – a one way system in and out of the Adamstown village. We ask visitors to cooperate fully with our parking stewards who are working in the athlete’s best interest, to ensure a smooth and efficient running of the day.
