The big event of the week was the London XC championships, which saw an Individual and team success, in the form of a win for Sam Macaulay, plus silver for the Men’s Team, while the the Women’s team took 5th place ; we also had numerous athletes participate for their boroughs at the London Youth XC Championships
As the days get shorter it seems many of the races do too – with xc filling a lot of the weekend race timetables
There was plenty of Heathside racing action from last weekend. Highlights include a third place for Genevieve Weston in the North London Cross Country Championships in Hanwell on Saturday, with the club team coming third overall and a second place for E Kaloukian and for the club in the men’s under-18 race as part of the event; two sub-2:45 marathon PBs – Sammy Keenan (2:43:20 in Frankfurth) and Andrew Roberts (2:44:01 in Battersea) and a 16:14 Parkrun for 46-year-old Tom Aldred in Woking.
Congratulations to Club Chairman Jerry Odlin who was recognised by England Athletics London Region for services to Athletics and Running at the annual awards on Saturday 19th September,
