Bourne Woods XC Results 2024

Striders’ League _Issue 12

Apologies for the silence regarding the final race of the XC season.

I now have confirmation & details of this race which can be viewed

in Bourne Woods XC Details .

PLEASE NOTE

The race date has been moved back to the 2nd March.

Directions, times & parking details can be found on the flier.

Although we’re not in contention for the top spot, there’s still a chance we can finish in the top 3 with a strong performance, so it would be great to field a strong team and finish the season with a bang.

As always, if you have any questions or would like to know more about cross country, please reply to this email or come and chat to me at training.

A little reminder that we are holding the food bank run on Wednesday, the 26th February.  If you could bring your donations along on that club night then myself and Lisa will take over to our local food bank which I know will be greatly appreciated.
