So it begins, the 2024 championship season, well apart from parkruns. Hit The Trail was the first full race of the 2024 season of championship races. Twelve of us turned out for this five-mile trail race on a chilly Sunday morning.
The race runs along trails through the Reddish Vale country park just outside Stockport. They warned us it might be muddy in places, and it didn’t disappoint. They also mentioned the odd “puddle” or two and yes there were a couple of sections that had been flooded. Can I say the second one was particularly cold. Still, it washed the mud off our shoes, and we soon warmed up on the uphill finish.
