Kent Cross Country Championships, Detling Showground

The Kent County Cross Country Championships take place at the Kent County Showgound, Detling.

There was a good turn-out at the Kent Cross Country Champs at the Kent Showground near Detling. Though the sun was shining and the ground soft there were still patches of snow to be seen. These are the results which I have taken from the Kent Athletics website www.kcaa.org. uk so I hope that they are correct. They have posted quite a few photos of both the men's and ladies' races on their website and the Harriers are very conspicuous in several of them.
