16/11/03 Hartshill Heartbreaker 10 mile cross country.

The Hartshill course is based upon the Hartshill Country Park. Starting in the pleasant grounds of Hartshill School the route follows footpaths to Hartshill Woods where it weaves pleasantly through the woodland until coming out and heading for the canal over which it passes twice and so returns via a long muddy climb up a hill back into the woods and so back to Hartshill school. This is an ideal course for cross country.

Mike Johnson lead the contingent of Kenilworth Runners with a magnificent run to finish with a time 60 minutes and 58 seconds which gave him 2nd place overall and the prize with it. Mick Williams also had an excellent run finishing in 63 minutes and 47 seconds to take the 1st over 40 men's trophy and 10th place overall.
