LANCASHIRE SCHOOLS’ CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP REPORT

WITTON PARK, BLACKBURN

SATURDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2024

The Cross Country Championships were once again held at Witton Park this year.  The course was quite soft underfoot with the odd muddy patch in places.  Weather conditions were much better that last year with mild temperatures and a light breeze. All of the races started on time and our thanks go to the technical officials on the day. Thanks also to all of the marshals for volunteering their time.

The total of 367 finishers was slightly lower than last years (388).

I give below the individual and team winners of each race:
