In the first race of the XC season we had a massive turn out of 51 members for the club. 28 women and 23 men took on a record total field of senior runners of 786.
The race also saw our own Peter Hey return to competition and the purple vest after his recovery from a heart attack. It was great to see Peter representing the club once again.
It had many of the ingredients for a classic cross country race (cold, mud and hills). The fourth and fifth elements (wind and rain) were thankfully missing on this occasion.
The ladies had a great result and are off to a flying start by finishing first in the premier league. A fantastic start to the season.
The men finished third in the first division and can improve on that in future races.

Our results are below. Note that the counters are in red but all runners help the team results by pushing up the scores for runners in other clubs, so everyone contributes to the success.
