31 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with no first-timers and 6 PBs. Ian Wilkinson came second overall, losing out only to Paul Andrew, but he got a PB as a consolation prize! The conditions were good and the field was large but not record-breaking. Juniors Alfie Meade, Chris Rouse and Danniella Evans all got PBs and seniors Paul Cozens and Steven Osmond continue their PB-fest. Official results are here:

8 Sphinxies turned up in the wilds of Leicestershire for this cracking multi-terrain run, 2 for the marathon and 6 for the 15 mile. It was a cold but clear morning with the north wind whistling across the tops of the hills, but not as much mud as feared. Great food choices and hot drinks at the checkpoints and great soup and pudding at the end. Please note that Lorraine’s number was 666!
Kathryn Stuart was the sole Sphinx AC representative at the national cross country championships held at Herrington Park, Sunderland. Out of a field of 427 she finished in a very respectable position of 116 despite a very uncharacteristic, extremely late arrival.
