AMAZING Feet's men finished their cross country season in fine style at the last race of the Birmingham & District League at Stafford last Saturday.

The ladies also enjoyed an encouraging end to their season as Sarah Armstrong, Sarah Lewis and Jane Pye helped Amazing Feet beat many other clubs who were unable to field full teams.

The club's flagship ROC Fencing Wyre Forest 8 multi-terrain race attracted more than 320 athletes from across the country who braved the worst condition's in the event's nine-year history.

Despite the almost sub-zero temperatures, a cold wind and blizzard and thick mud on parts of the course, it was still a very competitive race.

Simon Link of Stourbridge RC won the race in 49.00 - the slowest winning time recorded during the nine years of the event.

However, ladies winner Lucy Aphramor finished only six seconds outside the ladies course record in 53.10 to claim her second Wyre Forest 8 title, having won in 2003.

Richard Griffiths (Telford AC) was second in 49.08, with Dave Brock of Orion Harriers third in 49.53.

Second lady was Kate Wright (Stratford-upon-Avon AC) in 59.10, with Lorraine Hardy (Shropshire Shufflers) third in 59.34.

Among the club members to finish were Nic Hyde who was 48th with a time of 60.46 and new member David Whymant completing his first race for the club in 64.12 to finish 88th.

Paul Thompson also completed his first race as a club member in 65.36 to take 110th and Tony Fletcher was 313th, with a time of 1 hour 43.02.
