Eastern AA Cross Country Championships, Southill, 19 November 2022
There was more medal success for Bedford & County’s endurance athletes at the Eastern AA Cross Country Championships on Saturday 19th November. Held at Southill Park estate, the regional championships were greeted with cool temperatures, grey skies and persistent rain. The inclement weather combined with an uneven tussocky course and long distances made the races a genuine cross country challenge.
