The unexpected death of Cavin Woodward of Leamington Cycling & Athletic Club has recently been announced. Cavin suffered a heart attack and died on the morning of Friday 26 February 2010. Cavin was a Life Member of Leamington C & AC and has served the County Association in a variety of ways for a number of years most recently as an Auditor. He was also an International athlete who at one time held four World Best times for ultra distances. He regularly ran for Leamington in the Birmingham League in the 1970s and 1980s. He will be greatly missed by the athletics world especially in the Leamington area. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. |
| The Birmingham and District Invitation Cross Country League was formed back in 1925 when a few Birmingham based athletics worthies resolved to form a local cross country league with Birmingham based Clubs. From its small beginnings with just 6 Clubs, it has now grown considerably to expand into 3 divisions with over 50 Clubs all from the Birmingham area, the central Midlands and beyond. |  |
The League actively encourages and promotes the sport of cross country running and enjoys the excellent reputation of being one of the most competitive and high quality cross country leagues in the Country. |
 |
The highlight of the League's year is invariably the Birmingham Cross Challenge at the end of October/beginning of November every year where not only do the three divisions of the League come together and compete but there are additional cross country races for Ladies and the younger age groups.. |  |
