Redhill Race Results

1998

This year for the first time Notts. held their XC Championships in conjunction with the Derbyshire Championships. This was done partly for administrative and costing reasons, and also to produce better quality fields. Although all the athletes competed together in the same races, each county extracted their runners from the results to produce individual county placings.

The course at Lawn Park proved to be deceptively tough with a nasty sharp rise 400m from the start, which had to be tackled 3 times by some of the runners. Conditions underfoot were very heavy, a result of the incessant rain, which made some of the descents and sharp corners decidedly hair-raising. A 200m section across the lower part of the course resembled a rice field after the earlier runners had churned it up. Despite this, the weather was fine, and the rain held off untill after the last race of the day.

Redhill produced some fine performances ending the day with 2 individual gold medalists in Andy Wetherill and Ann Ford. Team wise Redhill finished with gold for the veteran men, and bronze for the senior men, senior ladies and U/15 girls.

East Midlands X/c, Trent Meadows - 29th November 1988

For  Redhill, 18 runners turned out for the second race in this 3 race series at the weekend. In glorious crisp, sunny winter conditions, Redhill packed 7 runners in the top 20. The course was the usual, 5 mile, 2 lap, wet, slippery mud bath. The only disappointment was the absence of any Redhill ladies in the race, thus ending any interest in the women's event.
