The 2016 winter league rolled on to race 3 with the Christmas handicap, a mild December day greeted us which was such a difference to the conditions of race 2 were we had sleet & snow so was great to see so many red vests on show & a few spare ribs (Iain McGowan). 80 runners made their way to the start line which i believe is a record turnout must be something to do with the great advertising campaign in place, a lot of people had run the course during the lead up to the race so we all knew it was going to be tough but that’s what cross country is all about takes people out their comfort zone of road running.

A race report with a difference from our esteemed skipper!
