Farringdon XC Relays, 4th September 2021

The Farringdon Relays mark the start of the cross-country season. Hazel Juggins reports:

A small but enthusiastic Claremont contingent represented the Club at the Ken Jefferson Memorial Cross Country at Farringdon, organised by Sunderland Harriers. The weather was a bit wetter than forecast but it was not cold and the course would be a pleasant stroll on grass paths and tracks through fields and woodland, with a trickle of stream to cross and a hill. The Seniors and Veterans Races are run together and our women’s team (Marie Slack, Serpil Bulut, Tara Hipwood, Hazel Juggins) put in a great performance, taking third place in the Veterans Relay. Our Men’s team (Richard Slack, Ari Hodgson, Anthony Liddle, Rob Newton) also put in a great performance in a much bigger field in the Men’s Relay. It was a good introduction to the cross-country season with the NE Harrier League starting soon on 25th Sept at Wrekenton.
