BMAF Cross Country Championships

Dave Nicholson with his Silver Medal he won at the 2020 BMAF XC Championships

Dave Nicholson ran the BMAF Cross Country Championships at the Rhug Estate,
North Wales on Sunday 15th March and won silver in the 65 to 69 age group
as well as finishing tenth overall in the women's and men's over 65 race.

David Butler of Billericay won gold, running the 6k course in 23m 46s. 

David came in at 24m 50s and Kevin Hesketh of Preston followed for the bronze with a time of 25m 25s.

The course was once round a field, followed by 2 laps of the full course which included the field,
a hill and crossing of a stream.   There was mud in parts after a rainy few days but it wasn't onerous.

Runners shook elbows at the end.  Medals were presented by Lord Newbrough of Rhug Estate,
who obviously wasn't so terrified of catching the dreaded virus because he shook everyone's
​hand when giving out the medals.
