And so we finish another CC6 season. I hope everyone has enjoyed their running, it certainly seems so, judging by all the feedback. Thanks today to New Forest Runners, Lymington Tri and Lymington Athletes. This is what you said:
- I loved Wilverley, definitely my favourite CC6!
- As usual the marshals were great, as were the cakes!
- Please pass on my thanks to the organisers. A tough course, but just what a cross-country race should be with something of everything, open flat areas, technical trails and hills with plenty of mud thrown in for good measure. The reward for our efforts was the best post-race refreshments of the series.
- big thanks to New Forest for hosting us so well, the course was very well marshalled with ever cheerful people, the promise of hot drinks and cakes sped us along the final home trek. Colleagues thought the muddy course was challenging but like a good technical run.
- was an awesome course today!!!!
- Great set of races – Di – our thanks to the organisers!!!
- That was a great way to finish the cc6 season! Thanks to all of the organising clubs for this race, and anyone else that has been involved across the whole series. See you for the rr10s.
- I have reports of enthusiastic marshalling, mud, lovely cakes, mud, appreciation of hot drinks, mud and some mud. A shame that the end of the season is already here but roll on next year!
I’d like to say thanks to all the Club Results people for their thanks to me! Much appreciated!
