Despite absolutely awful conditions this morning, hundreds of athletes descended on Birtley's Lord Lawson Academy to take part in a snowy/sleety/windy XC relay, hosted by Birtley AC. Our North East officials are the best in the country, enduring the weather with barely a complaint, and helped by Birtley AC's band of willing volunteers, the event went off very well. The athletes did their best despite the conditions, and some great times were still obtained, although understandably a little slower than last year.
