Some good advice here thank you. Its looking like Spikes are going to be the winner here.

T.Mouse: its the Brooks XC league, some people I spoke to have said that road trainers will probably be OK for Goodwood but the other 3 races are certainly going to be too muddy. 

Right then, off to find myself a good pair of XC spikes - thanks everyone.

With 4 races between October and February, I'm considering having a go at the sussex cross country league.

The only trainers I have at the moment are my Asics 1170's which are purely for road running. So I'll need to get some trainers specifically for this.

my local running shop have advised me to go for spikes which can double up as track spikes in the summer, or the other option I see is fell shoes which I'd imagine I could also use as trail shoes and door-to-trail as well.

Has anyone else here got XC experience and invaluable advice?

I don't want to waste money on a shoe that really won't be used that many times a year. 

Thanks

I've been thinking about this this week.

I'm ready for it training wise, but does anyone know what the terrain is like? Will I be OK in my road shoes as I don't have any trail shoes.
