Mary’s epic adventure

-

Huge respect to Mary Pearson who took part in the 48 hour "Escape From Meriden" event this weekend. Conditions were awful especially on the trail routes Mary chose to mostly follow and she completed an amazing 75 miles  (53.8 miles as the crow fly's from Meriden) before ending her race

Cross country weekend

Despite the poor weather, perfect for XC!, the club fielded teams at both the Chiltern League event in Oxford and the 3 Counties event at Wootton. Well done to everyone who took part.         

3 Counties at Irchester Country Park.

Today we hosted the first race of the 3 Counties XC series with over 350 club runners attending the event. Our mens team came 2nd, our ladies 6th and as a combined team we were 5th overall. A big thanks to our volunteers without whom the event wouldn't be possible.
