Chiltern Cross Country, Shotover Hill Oxford 10 Oct
Approx 3.5miles
Well done to those who made it. A beautiful day and a lovely but challenging course.
U11 boys Ollie Trudgill 18th. Not only his first race but also the furthest he has ever run (he is normally in the sprint group). As you can imagine, nobody was going to overtake him on the run in! An excellent first race.
U13 boys Connor Trudgill and James Thomas pushed each other to good positions, 4th and 6th respectively.
In the U15 boys, Sam Smith had a good race to finish 13th.
Lone senior woman Hannah Street coasted round, looking remarkably untroubled, to finish 29th in 31:21 in a high class field. The race was won by Natasha Peters from Bedford (and part-time Sandy Sports Centre staff member) who beat fellow Bedford and GB runner Nicola Sykes in a close finish.

RAF Henlow 10 Mile Road Race, 21 Oct
On a day which seemed ideal for road running, with a light drizzle and cool temperatures, the four Biggleswade AC runners who took part in this year's RAF Henlow 10 mile race found the event tougher than expected. The culprit appeared to be the nagging head wind on the point to point 10 mile course that winds it way from the start at Shuttleworth Aerodrome, via Old Warden, Ireland and Shefford, to the finish at RAF Henlow Camp. Vet 55 Chris Clarke was running in his 20th Henlow 10 race - quite an achievement in this historical race which was first run in 1951

Three Counties at Stopsley, 25 Oct
Congratulations to all the runners who turned out for the club at the first race of the Three Counties Cross Country series at Stopsley. Over 40 club members ran, which is the highest number ever to represent Biggleswade AC in a single XC race, in our 58 year history! Quite some achievement. Everybody's finishing position is important, as this pushes the other club's runners further back down the field, causing them to score a worse points total. Special congratulations to our ladies team who WON the event, and who packed brilliantly with 6 ladies in the first 20.
