Another fabulous day for cross country: cold and still frosty underfoot in places, but glorious winter sunshine in Trent Park for this long-established cross country race.

The ‘Challenge’ is to stay on your feet! Herbert’s Hole, the last in the series of Club Championship races, and arguably the hardest, writes Louise Prince. Listed under the heading of ‘Multi terrain 10Ks’, runners could have been forgiven for thinking it was a 10K race, when actually it was […]

Phil York did a great job […]
Teams from Ealing in nearly all age groups traveled up the M1 for the Mansfield National Cross Country Relays on Saturday, writes Tim Hannah. There was rain for nearly all the journey up, but miraculously the rain cleared by Nottingham and we enjoyed clear skies for the duration of the […]
The 2017/18 cross country season is now well under way, and last Saturday saw ESM’s seniors make the short journey to Kingsbury to take part in the combined Liddiard Trophy and North of the Thames Championships, hosted by Queens Park Harriers. The men’s team finished seventh (8-to-score) in the long […]
