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).
