Successful WADAC debut at SOTCCA Champs

The SOTCCA is one of the longest established running associations that has been hosting championships for over a hundred years. These events are generally held over in South London or Kent but as 2017 was in Aldershot we thought...why not?
nWe knew the standards would be high with teams like Kent AC, Tonbridge, Belgrave and AF&D all regular participants. Both men and women raced over 7.5miles with everyone setting off in a mass start at 14.00. Conditions on the day were near perfect and the course was an entertaining mix of muddy stuff round the pitches and some lovely forest trails including one memorable switchback climb up through the woods. The talent was there and the field soon snaked away through the trees and out of sight for most of us. For info the winning man has a sub 31 10k this year and the winning lady has a sub-35 10k.
