Inter Counties Fell Running Championships Witton Pk Blackburn

Witton Park, Blackburn was the venue today for the UK Inter Counties Fell Running Championships.

Teams from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and as far as the Home Counties, Dorset, Devon etc, all entering.

The chance to represent your county is not something that comes along regularly, but when it does is a wonderful opportunity. That opportunity was given to Trevor Morris and Jeremy Bygrave.

A hot day and challenging course.
