North of England Cross Country Championships.

The 2020 event was held at a new venue - Camp Hill Estate near Bedale in North Yorkshire.

The event attracted 2500 entrants across the 10 races for the different age groups, and Rotherham Harriers had a total of 45 athletes competing on the day.

As always the standard was incredibly high with many GB and England Internationals in the senior races.

The venue provided a real contrast in terrain with good fast running in the start and finish areas, but very muddy tough conditions out on the longer lap

The Harriers team performance was consistently good - with seven complete teams and all those teams finishing in the top 10 in each race.

Pride of place went to the Junior women's team who won the gold medal in a very close competition, beating the Gateshead team by one single point.

The U13 girls team won silver team medals - repeating their 2019 success.

Individually there were some great performances, with seven club athletes finishing in the top 20 in their race. Cyane Robinson was 5th and Keiva Rennocks 10th in the Junior Womens race, Mischa Walsh was 7th, and Lilia Harris 17th in the U13 girls race. Owen Haffner had one of his best performances to date, finishing 12th in the U13 boys race. Lee Milburn was 17th in the senior men's race and Nicola Devine 19th in the senior women's race.
