Norton 9-mile, Sun 6 Mar

It can definitely be likened to Tadcaster 10, for those who have done that. Sally Malir and I were the only 2 Harriers to enter. We […]

Don’t be daft I thought we know what cross country courses are like up here! I agree now though. For a predominantly road runner looking to speed up […]
