Dublin Juvenile XC League 2
Corkagh Park, Naas Road, Newlands Cross, D22
Sunday, 11th October, 2026 
 
Congratulations to our DSD athletes who took part in the first Dublin XC League of the season at Newbridge House recently – it was fantastic to see so many of our Juvenile athletes out competing on the day – for some it may have been their first XC race while others are well seasoned competitors!
 
There were some fine performances from our athletes in the first XC race of the season – results for League 1 can be found below.
 
 
We would now like to invite all of our athletes join us for XC League 2 – entries are now open for League 2 in Corkagh Park on Sunday 11th October 2026 from 11am. 
 
Please note the change in race order on the day.
 
The XC Leagues are open to all registered members from U8 upwards and are a great introduction to a competition event in a relaxed fun setting starting off at a shorter distance in League 1 and progressively getting longer in Leagues 2 & 3.
 
League Points System:
Points are awarded to the Top 20 athletes on the day with all athletes who finish receiving bonus in each race. The Top 6 in each Age Group receive awards based on points accumulated across the course of the Leagues (trophies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and boxed medals for 4th, 5th, 6th).
