What an amazing Ambleside junior turnout in all races, fell, sprint and sack! A special well done to Joss, Maesie, Emma, and Jack B for braving the rocky course as your 1st race. A tough one!

 

The blue and green vests were a formidable team and raced brilliantly over the varied terrain in a variety of weather. The younger ones coping with the heat and the U14’s and U17’s having incredibly slippy conditions in the downpour.

Congratulations to the girls – Emma Duxbury winning the U8 girls, Sophie R sprinting in to be the U10 girls winner and Chloe R not only winning the U14 girls trophy (having only turned 12 two days previously) but being the 1st lady home with a new course record!

Look out Ambleside sports here we come!
