Summer Cross Country - race report

As the Summer Herefordshire and Borders Cross Country League ( aka The cross country) drew to a close Wye Valley Runners did themselves proud with a solid turnout throughout the season with some tip top personal performances. Some fab new courses in some of the County’s finest spots - finished off with Cider at Westons - what more can you ask for.
