Southern Masters Cross Country Championships 2022
Michael Eccles, in what was a very competitive race and on a hard 10k course, had an outstanding run to finish first overall in 33.28. An extra long hill had been added this year and Michael said it was the hardest hill he has ever encountered so, coming from him, it must have been tough. Plus they had to run…
Perivale 5 Mile
Billy Eccles was on a mission to beat his Dad’s 5 mile time which he ran at almost the same age when he was 15. Unfortunately he missed it by 3 seconds. This was Billy’s first 5 mile race and he finished first under 20 in a gold standard 30.11. Dad Michael didn’t do too bad either, finishing second overall…

It stopped raining just before the races began and started again just after. We were pretty lucky which is most unusual for Houghton. We had 5 first places and a 3rd today. 6 medals out of 12 isn’t bad. Well done all and I hope the first timers at Houghton loved the course. U/15 3k course Billy Eccles 1st overall…
