2022 Recap – January

Our look back to 2022 on the first day of Christmas takes us back to January. It’s cold, it’s damp, it’s wet, it’s muddy. Yes, you guessed it… it’s CROSS COUNTRY!

On the 29th January 2022, 12 Vale of York junior and senior members entered the Northern Athletics Cross Country Championships at Pontefract Park.

This event is the biggest cross-country event in the north and it was great to see such a good representation from the team.

Those of you that were there will remember that it was a very windy day – far too windy for the tents and the flags but on a more positive note, the results were impressive and Beverley brought some delicious homemade Brownies! 

Team VOYAC were also guests in PECO Cross Country League and in January we were at West Park in Leeds for Race 4. PECO claim that this league is the most popular cross-country league in West Yorkshire and looking at some of the lovely locations, you can easily see why. 

Some of you will shudder at the thought of Cross Country and at the very mention of it are taken back to those days at school when you were forced to trudge round the school field. PECO is not like that. It’s exciting, its inclusive; it will make you strong and it is perfect for keeping those winter blues at bay.

If you too would like to experience the joy of running at speed downhill then there is still time to join the team for the 22/23 season so do get in touch if you want to know more. 

There really is nothing like it.
