The course will be those used for the regular series race in October; seven-and-a-half miles for men, five miles for women. Junior distances will be announced.

Selection for the team to represent Bermuda at the CAC Cross-Country Championships, to be held in Costa Rica at the end of February, will be based on performances over the whole cross-country series, although particular attention will be given to placings in the National Championships.

All athletes selected for team consideration will be expected to train as a squad in the weeks prior to the event.
