Race Report: Cheshire Cross Country Championships

Ten Striders ventured to Birchwood Park, Warrington for this year's Cheshire 'Cross Country Championships'. Although Striders have previously dabbled with cross country events with mixed success, it's something as a club which has never taken off, this year however there was a surge of enthusiasm, and for the first time we entered both a mens and ladies team.

One could assume that there were some extra curricular activities going on this weekend with the very little running that took place!

That being said, there was a great turnout at the foggy Congleton parkrun, with Heather Carter coming in as first female and personal best times for Lisa Highfield and Jaynie Turner.

It was a week of spookiness and personal bests for Striders.

This week began with Striders going all out to scare the locals of Chester. A dozen or so scary Striders donned Halloween costumes and ran a 10k night run around the city taking in haunted buildings and spooky graveyards stopping for scary stories along the way. Striders recovered by being suitably refreshed in the Brewery Tap, an old medieval hall, and consuming some fine ales. A spookily great night was had by all!
