If any ladies would like to take part in any of the races, please let Gillian Doolan know via email at doolang [at] sky [dot] com. You don’t have to commit to all 5 races, but should try and do at least two. If you took part last year and don’t want to do it this year, please also let me know so we take you out of the team. The club kindly pay for our entries into the Cross Country races, therefore it is only fair that we only enter if we are going to run the races.
Cross country is a great team event and is definitely about the taking part for your club, helping to achieve points in the league and seeing where we can finish is all categories. It’s also great fun running up and down hills in mud
I look forward to hearing from all you keen Cross Country runners and another fun filled CC season ... did I mention the mud
