Nottingham City Harriers 2018- Training for road, cross country running, fell racing

Race Details A cracking race of 5miles and 310 meters of climb, that is free to enter! With fantastic prizes, like this for the V50M. There is a high quality field; the race was won by Andi Jones (10th London Marathon) and third was last years winner, Jon Brown. I managed 20th overall, 1st V50 won with a very fast descent. The veg was grown and manured by race organisors and very nice they are too. What a refreshing change to the charity (£28) event on tomorrow in Nottingham:)
