Seven Sins, Forest of Dean, seven miles trail

Sixteen year old Ollie Campbell kicked off a great holiday of running with a win at the Seven Sins seven mile trail race in the Forest of Dean.

This was followed by an U17 win in the X Country Champs and third and fourth places in two parkruns run in one morning.

Gloucestershire XC Championships, Rendcomb College

The weekend saw the annual cross country county championships held at Rendcomb College. CAC hosted this event, with a gruelling route set by James Thomas aided by Rupert Chesmore and Louise Abbott.

This was technical terrain with woods, hills, and an icy stream. There was a fantastic club turnout of both runners and marshals, with 8 women, a record 16 men competing and a really strong junior contingent.

Henry Sheffield and Ollie Campbell won their respective age groups, and the senior men's team won a silver medal. James kindly broke the ice the day before so the competitors could valiantly brave the river crossing - four times for women and six times for men.

Some competitors loved it so much they even felt the need to baptise themselves fully in the icy waters for the full XC experience! Special mentions go to all those who helped marshal and organise this hugely successful event.
