GOLDEN OLDIES storm the Charts!

It was a fairly quiet week for results, possibly due to it being the “lull” between the end of the Summer race season and the beginning of the pre-London Marathon preparers, plus there were no Cross-Country fixtures either.

Heathside triumphs at Claybury Met League

The big excitement at the weekend was of course the first Met League cross country event of the season, held at Claybury, where over 100 Heathsiders turned out to race in the sunshine.

Leigh James also deserves a special mention for her amazing time in the Eindhoven marathon coming in well under 3 hours.
