This cross-country race is so named because of the thigh deep streams that Bearbrook Joggers make you run through on your way around the course. Technically there were four club members who particpated in the event but they come from some very different perspectives.

Some of the more long standing members may know Mick Kelly, who dusted off his club vest to come home 29^th out of over 300 people in the race which is approximately 6 miles. These days Mick looks out for off-road races around the country and goes off with his friend and fellow LBAC member, Dave Marham to compete around the country. On this occasion Dave was 51^st in 45:44.

Whilst Mick and Dave are relative unknowns, Lynn Boddy has become a well known representative of the club throughout the cross-country season and with hardwick being just a few miles from home, Lynn clearly felt obliged to take part. She completed the "challenging" course in 52:41 and finished 122^nd in the race. Going by the looks on her face, I'm not too sure how much she enjoyed the experience!

After being inspired by marshalling at Wing last week, and in a very rare appearance our Vice President and founder member Geoff Roe disguised himself in a black T-shirt for the event. He did however manage to complete the course and come home a few minutes behind Lynn in 55:36 to just about make the top half of the field in 151^st.
