Northern Vets Cross Country Championships
Northern Vets X Country Championships – Victoria Park, Warrington. Sunday 20th February 2011 I think the conditions today were always going to be a lot better than what the team had to contend with yesterday, we had a flat field & not too much mud. The men had 10k (4…
National Cross-Country Championship
A dull but dry day at Alton Towers for this premiere English XC event. The venue was spectacularly muddy, so much so that there had been injuries in earlier races and the courses for both senior events were changed and slightly shortened (though still 10k for the men). Wilmslow raced well…

Clayton Vale XC MACCL finale

Radcliffe 10 mile trail race
As an alternative to Alsager, 5 of us opted for this jaunt to the home of film director Danny Boyle ( Slum Dog Millionaire, 127hrs) Used to be 12 miles now shortened to 10 along a disused railway line – muddy ++ and undulating loops round a couple of parks…
Alsager 5
Sunday February 6th. Alsager attracts a quality field, I seem to remember Mike Halman finishing 44th. Nevertheless it has never been that popular with Wilmslow runners; those who are not training for London have their eyes on the Wilmslow Half and a five-mile Sunday does not fit the schedule. We…
Training Days
I have, at present, two training days planned, probably in April and September and also some more local ones. Last year's went well, the Snowdon day causing the most interest. All who completed the day responded brilliantly to what, I know, was, for some, a severe challenge. Again this year…
