Overall Highgate Harriers came 3rd at this Fryent Cross-Country fixture with 15 participating clubs.
It was a wet and windy afternoon with coaches, runners, and parents all traveling to Kingsbury to take part in this Saturday-afternoon event. 35 of our brave Highgate Harrier young runners took to the soggy grounds of Fryent Park Kingsbury on Sat 4th November for the second fixture of the North West London cross-country league with 15 clubs participating.
Huge congratulations to all who took part. It was a fantastic turn out and really well organized by host clubs QPH. The weather was relentless, but it didn’t deter our young runners.
Some great individual results
