The latest cross country race in the North Yorkshire and South Durham series was held on Sunday 24th November at Fox Rush Community Woodland near Redcar. Teesdale AC were represented by Steve and Caroline Moss. The course was flat and the weather was fair but conditions were muddy and quite challenging. With most of the course run through woodlands, the most common hazards were tree roots some of which were concealed by mud and leaves. Some slippery sections and a small steam to cross added to the interest. Caroline completed 2 laps in the 5.85k women’s race and Steve took just over 43 minutes for 3 laps in the 8.6k men’s race. The next NYSD fixture is at Summerhill, Hartlepool on 8th December with a larger contingent from Teesdale AC expected to enjoy the challenge.
