Thanks to the valiant efforts of the NECAA committee, when we all had doubts that cross country would return this year.
With a lot of hard work and resilience they managed to get this event on. This 3k course is on farmland with very tough conditions under foot and heavy rain making running extremely difficult.
Under strict COVID regulations the first race of the day got underway and what a start that was from an Elswick point of view.
