Cross Country Foots Cray Meadows, Sidcup

This Saturday 12 October saw the start of the Kent Cross Country competitions and many of our members swapped their usual road running for a muddy cross country, some taking to the fields for the first time since 1978, well done Adam! The event took the members to Foots Cray Meadows, Sidcup for a rather rainy race. But the weather did not deter Folkestone Running and Athletics Clubs members who came out with some great results, and them looking forward to the next race.

North Chilterns 50k Race
Sunday also saw two FRAC members, Phil and Linnaea, take on the North Chilterns 50K Race, here Phil Gives us an insight into the Race
Yes, you can have fun in Luton! Linnaea and I really enjoyed the North Chilterns 50k race. Based at Berkamsted Castle and taking in Ivinghoe Beacon, Coombe Hill and White cliff Hill we really enjoyed the views. We were also so lucky with the chilly, but dry and bright weather! Definitely a race to be recommended! Linnaea Stockall finished as 4th lady in 5:29:56 and I managed 5:46:09 so very happy with that!
