Last year’s event at Stafford Common was given the go-ahead despite overnight snow that completely blanketed the course and made for incredibly testing conditions.

Joe Rainsford was the standout performer, finishing seventh in the junior men’s race, as fifteen Heanor RC members made the journey to Staffordshire.
