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.

This weeks report includes another busy weekend of road racing including the Cabbage Patch 10 miler. At Wormwood Scrubs the senior men finished 5th in the Southern XC relays and Seyfu ran a sub 15 minute Parkrun.
