A great turnout by the club at the grounds of Temple Newsam House, hosting the first cross country race of the season. Mostly dry underfoot conditions apart from one stream crossing which seemed to take a few victims, judged by the state of some at the finish. The junior races started the day and the first back for Otley in the 2 mile race was Charley Clarke Taylor and Jack Alston lead the black and whites in the one mile race.

The hilly senior’s race was won by Freddie Roden, Abbey Runners. First woman home was Becky Penty, York Postal Harriers. Scott was first in his age category in 15th and Emma Hart first Otley in the women’s race. Well done everyone.
