Birchfield works with cross country runners at all levels. We have twenty acres of grounds for running practice and the use of adjacent farm land on which our young runners really have to challenge themselves. Running is great for all round fitness and stamina and every child at Birchfield will train and run for their House during the school year.

We regularly enjoy Birchfield runners at the top of the regional competitive fields as well as winning many team events. Individual successes at large external cross country events and in our own annual Invitational cross country meeting show this clearly.
