Sunday 23rd March marked the start of the 2014 off road series, with the Seven Pools 10K. This is a cross country run around the seven pools (hence the name…) in Sutton Park.

The weather really didn’t know what to do with itself, with a short but sharp downpour just prior to the start of the race at 11am, then bright sunshine (but cool) with the odd bit of rain throughout, then just as our final runners were coming in, a sudden hailstorm!

There was a brilliant display of sunny yellow vests however.  Jon Wolfe was first home in 39.58 and Cass Jackson first lady back in 49.13,  with excellent performances put in by the whole team.

“All the elements today. A really lovely (muddy) run!” Lorraine Amos

“Great support from everyone and a lovely soggy run!” Cass Jackson
