Last Sunday, 14th November, saw the long awaited return of the PECO cross country league. Striders turned out in force at Middleton Park on a fine morning for running, with mild temperatures, decent conditions underfoot and the usual PECO atmosphere. A slight mishap in the first lap led to everyone running slightly further than advertised (especially the faster runners) but the results stand. Well done to our ladies who top both the First Division and the Vets Premier, whilst the men stand in 6th place in the Premier and 3rd in the Vets Premier.
Full team standings can be found on the PECO website https://pecoxc.co.uk/pages/race1.html, and individual results are at Racebest https://racebest.com/results/x8c66?.
The race was also part of the Grand Prix (https://www.valleystriders.org.uk/run/competition/grand-prix), with a total of 47 runners picking up points and Daniel Grant the fastest Strider taking the maximum 100 points. See table below for Striders’ results and GP points. The next PECO race is Sunday 5th December at Temple Newsam and we hope to see another good turnout there. Thanks as always to Kathy for the team photo.
