Chiltern Harriers continued their excellent league season with a third win out of three at a sunny but windy Stopsley Park on Saturday. The club won by 300 points from Milton Keynes and Bedford, and go into the fourth round with an 1100 point lead. The course around the park was flat and fast with excellent underfoot conditions but fairly long courses made each race a proper challenge. More photos from Mark Easton
