Whilst the weather appears to have put paid to most of the weekend's road running, a number of Bristol & West ACs finest were out in action at Sefton Park in Liverpool, for the McCain Challenge which incorporated the European XC Trials. In the ladies race, two self-coached athletes featured in the top 3 as Louise Damen won the 8km event in a time of 26.32, with Gemma Steel of Charnwood AC 3rd in 27.00. Separating them was Hallamshire's Hatti Dean in 26.46. There was plenty of local participation too, as Kate Goodhead finished 17th in 28.05, ahead of GB runner Jane Potter. Imogen Ainsworth finished 19th (5th in the U23s race) in 28.10, Rebekah Randell was 25th in 28.42, Katie Knowles was 27th in 28.49.
The men's race was won by Aldershot's Andy Vernon in a time of 28.45, with the top local athlete being Wells City Harrier's Frank Ticker finishing 5th in 28.59. Bristol & West's Rob Bugden was 47th in 30.47.
