Club Races: Cross-Country & Relays
As a club, Claremont Road Runners participate in a number of local inter-club competitions – these split into cross-country competitions and a variety of relay races. These events are open to all club members – the club pays the entrance fees and organises lifts to the venues.
Cross-Country
The 2019-20 North East Harrier League was unfortunately cut short due to the national lockdown, but not before the Claremont Ladies had ensured promotion as champions of Division Three. Well done!
