Tempo Events - Winter series Race 5 (17/Feb)
Thank you to Kev Naughton for the following write up and results Sphinx AC results for the event….there were 257 finishers. Kevin Naughton…48.28 (56th) Lisa Abbot…57.01 (133rd) Graham Smith…57.13 (135th) Vicki Hand…1.06.47 (213th) Overall fair race conditions albeit somewhat fresh. Over 50% of the course surface over Larkstoke Hill and down into Ilmington proved to be extremely greasy/slippy due to an excess amount of mud/soil and manure deposited on the road….

Thank you to Wayne for the following write up and photos 14 Sphinx Ladies and 12 sphinx men and even our Commander in Chief (Bergs) made the long trip down to Cattle Country Farm, somewhere in the back end of Gloucestershire for the final race in this seasons cross country league.

33rd Charnwood Hills race 03/02/19
Thank you to Kev Naughton for the following write up on this race Results from today’s event…. Bright and sunny conditions for the 10.00AM start, although somewhat chilly at -2 but improving. The ground conditions overall were good for running. With a lot of frost in the ground made it a bit more than firm but tacky in places where the sun had thawed. Always a ‘tuff’ event over 14 mile fell race, 440 metres of ascent and 440 metres of descent.
