On Friday 27th June a few of our Bedford & County runners ran in the Colworth 5 mile trail which is part of the Colworth Marathon Challenge weekend. 

Our youngest athletes travelled to Stevenage on the 15^th June for our 3^rd EYAL match.  We scored 650 points – the most we have scored since before COVID!  We came away with 65 PBs (boys 33, girls 32) and 8 SBs (boys 2, girls 6). We are now 10^th in the league after 3 matches with a home match to come.  Being in 10^th means we currently qualify for the Plate Final on 07^th September.

Bedford & County won the fastest mixed team at the Greensand Ridge Relay yesterday and came third overall in the handicap race.

Team of Ewan Wilson, Natasha Peters-Cooper, Alice Lambert, Andy Blair, Henry Taylor and Helen Buller in a time of 3:58:47 over 34 miles of trail running from Leighton Buzzard to Northill.

Well done to everyone that ran.
