This was a fine week for our cross-country runners, both junior and senior. At the London Cross-Country Championships at Hampstead Heath our men’s team (headed by Seyfu Jamaal, who took first place) won the event and our women’s team (headed by Rebecca Piggott, who took seventh place) came fourth. At the London Youth Games, also at Hampstead, U15 Charlie Nicolson took the silver medal and led the Haringey boys to a silver team medal.

Lots of international road racing by Heathsiders this week with 4 racing in New York and one in Auckland. Closer to home Sam MacAulay won the Chingford League race while both Juniors and Seniors races XC at Fryent Park as well as Sunday League in Trent Park.

This week’s report features the North London cross country championships, the Eryri marathon and parkrun.
