Greater Manchester Cross Country
Congratulations to all teams, managers and competitors for a superb turnout at Saturday’s Greater Manchester Schools’ Cross Country Championships at Heaton Park.
The rain and mud didn’t deter the 700+ runners that showed their resilience on a testing course, organised and managed by an intrepid and dedicated team of volunteers, many of whom arrived in the dark at 7am to set up and didn’t leave until after 4pm. Our thanks to all that made this day such a success.
