11 Sphinx AC runners made the trip to Northampton for the third race of the East Midlands Grand Prix series. This is a new course for the competition and it proved to be a tricky one. A figure of eight with a very fast downhill to begin with, then a tough climb back up to the start itself, followed by an undulating circular route back to the finish.
