12th January: Cross Country at Town Park

A great course and successful event organised by the club. The course had to be re-routed because of a fallen tree but still contained the challenging ski slope, there was plenty of mud and even a ice covered pool at the finish. A big thanks to all members who helped put on this race.

Past Results4th January: Cheshire Cross Country Championship at Birchwood

Several WRR members ran for the club in the Cheshire Cross Country Championships at Birchwood. This was on the course we all know and love from the Sunday Cross Country League. Heavy rain over the preceding week meant that there was ample mud and the usual "water feature". Results are below, well done to every for completing the course and the Tarja who came first in her category.
