Northampton Mud Skippers Sun 3rd Feb

Another Cross-Country season came to a close at Delapre Park.

This season’s races have been the wettest and muddiest ever and a change of name for the club should be considered - Northampton Off Road Runners!

Over the season 46 club members have participated in the league which is a great turnout. Many have been new faces which has been nice to see.

At Delapre 29 of us mustered in a chill wind on the start knowing we were in for muddy slog.

We were not disappointed as the course ranged from very wet, to muddy, to bogging and staying upright was an effort in itself.

A special mention goes to Chris Lamb who picked up a trophy finishing as 2nd runner overall for the series a fantastic effort.

We had 8 stars who ran every race, Sally Garrett, Beckie Hollowell, Dave Blackburn, John Fleming, Jon Dilworth, Jon Panter, Chris Lamb and Mark Garrett, well done all.

So that is that for another year. The next XC season will start in October but for all those who like the off-road races there are plenty out there where you can get nice and dirty.

There are some great photos on the website gallery and everyone is smiling.
