I really enjoyed this trail. Part of the route took us to the Great Notley Country Park where we went up the hill that is used for the parkrun.
It was muddy in places just how I like it and it was good to run with Anita and have a chat along the way.”

Runner of the month for February.
Female: This lady must have one of the busiest lives ever juggling work, family commitments but still finds time to get to training and events where possible but where she really comes into her own is the mud! Performing fantastically at most of the XC events but a fantastic 12th place at Hadleigh really shows how strong she is!
She is always supportive and always brings a smiley supportive face to club!
