Hats off to the legend that is Bob Carey, who retires after 20 years service as race secretary for the league. As Chair Bergs states: on behalf of the Club what a great job you have done over the years serving the league and representing Sphinx AC Thanks to Wayne for the following race report: 14 sphinx made the shorter than normal trip to Aldridge for the final race of the season.
Thanks to Catherine Gough for the following report and photos: “The future of distance running in Durham is coloured orange” according to a Durham City Harriers coach. This is my first season running in the North Eastern Harrier League cross country, running in an orange vest. You can’t fail to notice the North East is very hilly, making the Newbold Comyn hill look flat in comparison! All the children, men & women run in the the same place on the same day.

Agent Timms did some undercover running in the Derby Runner XC league (yes, Mitch and cross-country in the same sentence ;) ). Mitch described it thus: Snow, sleet, biting wind, zero degrees, mud, hills, hills with steps, low hanging branches, protruding branches, more mud, more snow – great value at £3 a shout too! They breed ‘em tough up north you know, none of this 3 times round a football pitch on a flat trail in temperate Gloucester!
