The fifth and final round of this season's Chiltern League took place at Horspath, Oxford on Saturday 10 February. Rebecca Murray's win in the Senior Women's race means that she has won all five races this season. There were also top-ten performances from Theo Beale (Under 17 Men), Harry Scott (Under 15 Boys), Lily Farr (Under 17 Women) and Rosie Cusack (Under 11 Girls). We won the overall Veteran Men's competition thanks to a series of very strong performances over all five rounds. The Under 17 men were also victorious in the overall competition, winning every round and securing the team prize by a significant margin, with 6 athletes in the top 10 overall for the season.
