European Mountain Running

UK TAKE TWO TEAM SILVERS AND ONE BRONZE

 Recent Eryri Harriers' recruit Nathan Jones finished 19th in the European Mountain-Running Championships in Borovets, Bulgaria.

 In what was an uphill-only race he finished five places behind team-mate Max Wharton whom he has beaten in the past. The junior men's team finished 7th, with Turkey winning comfortably.

 The UK's senior men and junior women both won silver and the senior women bronze, with Italy taking both senior team awards and Russia the junior women's.

 Steve Vernon was the first UK finisher in fifth place, while Emma Clayton led the women in sixth place.

 The fourth UK finisher in the junior women's side was former Eryri Harrier Lydia Sharpe (now Gateshead).
