Kent Veterans XC Champs – Sparrows Den

21 Harriers braved the 40 mph winds on Saturday to take part in the Kent Vets XC Champs held at Sparrows den. On arrival the wind was very strong and it was obvious that the start was going to be tough heading straight on into the wind. As usual there were the moans of being cold, when to strip off, when to warm up and how to stay warm.

There were three races, Men 40-49 10k , Men 50-59 10k and then the last one was made up of the other categories racing 5k distance.  Well done to all those that ran, it was harsh weather. Congratulations to Andy Howey placing 2nd , Craig Chapman placing 6th, Mark Taylor placing 14th and Pru Clements placing 13th in their respective races.  Well done also to Stella or actually braved some mud and thoroughly enjoyed her first cross country experience placing 4th her race category. The Men did extremely well taking home medals placing second in M40-49 team event and placing 3rd in the M50-59 team event, brilliant results Harriers!
