The Gala Harriers Cross country championship started from Hollybush to finish along the river at Boleside with 20+ runners on the start line. Leading from the front, Gregor Ker produced an excellent run to take victory in a time of 39:29. Gregor was followed home by Craig Mattocks, who secured second place in 40:56, while Iain Stewart completed the podium with a strong performance in 42:53. The battle for the top female places was closely contested with Amelia Hope-Jones (48:45) and Kate Jenkins (49:15) followed by Joleen Murdoch (50:11).
Well, done to Charlotte Hendry who once again stepped up to organise the race and calculated the closed handicaps.
