Twenty-seven Sphinx AC men participated in the third of this season’s Birmingham League XC events, on our home turf at Wyken Croft. The performances on the day were enough to move us clear of the relegation zone, which is a relief. Conditions were rather chilly but the course was dry and largely firm underfoot, with only a few stretches of sloppy mud. Being hosted by Sphinx AC, marshals were plentiful and enthusiastic.

Twenty-one Sphinx AC seniors took part in this year’s Warwickshire XC championship at Newbold Comyn, Leamington Spa. Conditions were reasonable but by the time the senior men’s race was on its third lap, many stretches of the course were extremely sloppy. The swollen ditch provided the baying crowd with much entertainment!

Eighteen Sphinx AC juniors took part in this year’s Warwickshire XC championship race at Newbold Comyn, Leamington Spa.

Twelve Sphinx AC runners took part in this friendly pace race at the memorial park, with Wendy Foxall winning the ladies’ prize. Conditions were dry and bright (for a change!) but the course was partially re-routed due to flooding near the small car park. In addition to Wendy winning the ladies’ prize, Sphinx AC did well in our strongest event – the raffle!
