Firstly, a big thank you and well done to everyone who has raced, supported or helped out at any of
the XC races. The HRC hosted race at the Bosworth Battlefield Center which was a huge success,
the course layout, the mud and marshals all received lots of positive feedback.

The junior section had an excellent year with 10 members achieving final placings. Juniors coach
Shawn Wilebore said: “3 podium finishes, and two in 4th place, I’ve never seen so many of our
runners finish in the top 6, very well done juniors.”
Great to see so many different members taking part. If we can get a similar or even better turnout
this season that would be fantastic. Also, some brilliant individual achievements as well as team
performances.
