To be able to represent Team Enfield at the London Youth Games X-Country event, you need to either live in, or go to school in the Borough of Enfield.

Team Enfield will choose the team based on the fastest times for a:

  • 5km Parkrun for age categories U13, U15 & U17
  • 2km Junior Parkrun for age category U11
  • For age category U11, if you took part in the Schools Cross country event at Forty Hall on Friday 7th October, you may submit this time as an alternative to taking part in a Junior Parkrun.

To submit your interest, you need to do the following;

Step 1 – Register and have attended at least one Parkrun event in or close to Enfield

5km Parkruns take place every Saturday at 9am. See links below for Parkrun locations in Enfield, please note it does not have to be one of these locations, but must be run within a year of the competition date;
