NESS Race 2 – 26/01/2025 – Harwich – Results
26 January 2025 - By Jodee Mayer
A windy day in Wix today – but as some of you will have seen, an excellent day of cross country for Witham.
A huge thanks to Angela and Andrew for supporting today and for the photos.
Team photo missing a few people – and the usual sea of black and gold vests as it was just too cold!!
A slight change to the course had everyone cursing “the last field” today, but an incredible effort by all to finish what is a deceptively tricky course given its lack of hills!
A shout out to Will Radley who came home in first, and Sally Hoyle who was 1st WRC lady over the line in her lucky number position of 5. Also I am reliably informed that Rachel Sharp stopped her own race to help people over the ditches – great community spirit.
The results are below – we are awaiting the official individual place results but I will cross reference once they are published.

2nd place for WRC!
