The European tour season got off to a flying start last weekend with 10 of our lads travelling over to Majorca for the 70.3, most were travelling on their own apart from Oggy who took his in-laws (again!!!

Sunday 2nd October saw 6 of Humberside’s finest athletes join over 100 runners at Stowe School to take part in the annual UK Fire Service X-Country Championship. This was the 34th running of this event & the 25th anniversary at this historic venue. Conditions on the day were the complete opposite of a normal wet & muddy race, a barmy 26 degrees & bright sunshine made it more like an August afternoon. Plenty of lumps thanks to the (rather sadistic) … Read entire article »
