Sefton Park in Liverpool is the traditional home for the British Cross Challenge and Euro Cross trial races and this November will be no different.
Top Scots in the Senior, U23 and U20 age brackets will be chasing selection for the GB and NI teams who will compete in  in Turkey on Sunday 8 December.
For those at our clubs and racing in the younger age groups, the depth of the event at Liverpool – not to mention the mud and a testing course – always offers a significant challenge.
