Mike is top vet at the inter-services XC series!

Mike Musgrove emerged triumphant as the top vet athlete after a series of 6 challenging cross-country races that have taken place over the last few months at various venues throughout Devon and Cornwall. Participants were representing their respective "service", with Mike, from the fire service, battling it out alongside runners from the police and the various armed forces branches.

Mike reports having had some particularly good battles over the 6 races with Pete Waumsley, of Tamar Trotters, but running for the Royal Navy, and Stuart Hall, winner of this year's Bicton Blister race, also representing the fire service.

The terrains varied and incorporated a mixture of multi-terrain, trail style courses, in addition to the more traditional cross-country track, run on multiple laps of fields.

As the series wrapped, Mike was announced as the victor overall in the vet categories and placed high up the overall rankings as well.
