Sunday saw sole ORC Richard Davies head off to Redruth with his family to take part in the final race of the 2023/24 Westward League Cross Country series.
This event consists of one race per month from October to March using courses throughout Devon and Cornwall. With all ages categories being catered for from under 11s through to 60+, the races attract hundreds of runners. The courses are varied and can be tough taking in grassy fields, woodland, hills and of course lots of mud! They are great test of stamina and provide good motivation for keeping running over the winter months.
This 8.1km race consisted of laps around the playing fields at Redruth School. It was tough going through the mud, but Richard just about managed to stay on his feet and finished 27th overall. Excellent running by him to complete the series.
