A big well done and thank you to everyone who helped and supported COBS in hosting the cross country race on Saturday, ensuring that there was a full season of fixtures.

The conditions were extremely wet and muddy but this didn't keep runners away. We were all on marshalling duties, and everyone did a great job ensuring that people stayed on course. So the race was thankfully uneventful despite the conditions!

A special well done to Amy, Liam and Richard who also raced when not marshalling - I also tried to race but gave up after a mile because my shoe kept getting stuck in the mud and falling off - so even finishing was a great achievement!
