LANCASHIRE SCHOOLS’ CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP REPORT
WITTON PARK, BLACKBURN
SATURDAY 1ST FEBRUARY 2025
The Cross Country Championships were once again held at Witton Park this year. The course was quite firm underfoot with the odd muddy patch in places. Weather conditions were fairly cool with occasional sunshine. 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, including those from Preston Harriers, for volunteering their time.
The total of 350 finishers was slightly lower than last years (367).
