An Epic Adventure.

Georgie Campbell racing in Liverpool last weekend. It's another fairly short newsletter this week. Last weekend saw Georgie Campbell and Alex Adams, two of our top young endurance runners, competing in the latest of the British Athletics Cross Challenge Series in Liverpool. There's a fabulous report from Seth Turner on his recent trail running in Mauritius and great reading it makes too. There's a bit of a plug for the club's online shop and finally a few photos from last Sunday morning's Junior Endurance Group's sub-zero training session on the Welcombe Hills. Good luck and congratulations to the latest Couch to 5k group who will complete their course by graduating at Saturday's parkrun. Good luck also to all of the seniors' who are competing in Saturday's XC fixture on the Welcombe Hills and also to all of our junior XC runners competing at Wolverhampton on Sunday.

Report - Paul Hawkins The 2021/2022 British Athletics Cross Challenge Series has returned this winter, as the UK’s best cross country athletes take part in the five event series which culminates in Loughborough for the final next March.
