Stuart Jones and Dave Raymond represented Teesdale Athletic Club at Richmond XC on Sunday 5th February. The course was 5.5 miles set over four laps of the old racecourse. The going was good to soft with fine sunny weather.
When the race started, Stuart shot out of the starting gate and pulled out an early lead. This eventually disappeared by the start of the final lap and after shadowing Stuart, Dave managed to sprint the final 50 yds and pip Stuart at the post and win by a short head! Dave’s time was 47:34 and Stuart’s 47:43.
