​Hello Race Report fans. After a couple of stormy weekends, it was good to see some racing action. Keep your eyes peeled for Steve Perkin's report of National Cross Country champs up in Nottingham, and the National U15, U17 and U20 champs in Sheffield. Spoiler Alert: Chiltern Harriers AC had some mega results at both events.
