Stilton Striders tackle Midlands Cross Country Championships

The men’s race was the last race of the day to be staged and was held on a testing cross country course with a fair share of mud and hills thrown in.

In a high quality race, first back for the Striders was Darren Glover in 177th position in a time of 1hr 04min 14secs.

He was followed by Nick Brown who crossed the line 196th in 1hr 05min 06secs.

Darren said: “There was a bit of confusion as the one small lap and three large laps race was advertised as 12 kilometres, but ended up being 15 kilometres (9.3 miles).

“But it was a good event all the same.”
