Runners impress

Over a five-mile course, the Dewsbury’s men’s team were third, the veterans were second and the female team were fifth. It left Dewsbury third overall on the day and third in the standings after the three races.

Like last year, the race was on a snow-covered course but the organisers were better prepared and it had been marked out the day before.
