We had mixed fortunes at the third fixture of the North West London cross country league at Trent Park last Saturday. Among the most pleasing results were a couple of top-three places, and good team positions for the U15 girls and the U17 men. With Nicola Ravenhill injured, the U15 girls’ […]
We made a low-key outing to the Fraternity and Sorority Cross Country Cup meetings at Trent Park last Saturday, but there were some good individual performances from those who took part. This fixture is unusual in that men and women run together over the same 5-mile course. Women have few […]
The Perivale 5 enjoyed a record entry of 400, and as we know, it sold out in advance for the first time in its 16 year history. Luckily, weather conditions were perfect, and many took the opportunity to improve their 5 mile times on this fast, flat course. The first […]
