Last Sunday six athletes from Aycliffe Running Club braved the cold and mud of the old race course at Richmond. The course is very exposed but offers good views over much of the north-east.
In the senior women’s race over 5k Susan Milburn ran well to finish 46th in 28m:48s and was 1st V/55, followed by Michelle Dixon, who was competing in her first x-country, 52nd in 30:30.
In the senior men’s race Dez Fielden made easy work of the conditions to finish in an excellent 12th position in the time of 39:53, followed by Martyn Knox 46th in 45:59, then Matthew Heron, 57th in 47:29. Finally, Jason Dixon, who was also experiencing his first X-country, 91st in 57:40.
