Wednesday 23 March 2005
Start of the
ladies race
The course will be hosted by Northumbria
Police on Newcastle Town Moor close to the city centre. It is based on the
same route used for the English National XC back in 1991(?) when Tim
Hutchings won the title.
The terrain is a mixture of rough pasture and
short grass with some fast sections and two big climbs per lap - it is a
tough course especially on the ankles & Achilles!!
The ladies race started at 13.00 and the men’s race at 14.00.
Fine, dry, sunny weather and blue skies
greeted the 275 runners representing 36 UK police forces. Lancashires men's
team had their best team performance for many years scoring 5th place
overall. A good effort was also had from the three Lancashire ladies. The
Lancashire male veteran 40+ team also scored well placed 8th overall.
Lancashire runners highlighted in bold
type.
