Lizzy Apsley has taken to the hills this year winning the England trial race on 31st August and will lead the women’s under-20's team in the home international at the historic and beautiful Irish venue of Glendalough in the Wicklow hills.
The 17-year-old will be one of the youngest members of the under-20's team, but is sure to hit the heights at the Glendalough village.
Other athletes that have won this title in recent years include Alistair Brownlee and Nick Swinburn (a recent Stockport resident).
We wish Lizzy (coached by Syd Bates) every success at this prestigious 5-nations event!
