Neil Wilson’s photos show the start of the Manx Gas Cross Country Challenge at Nobles Park with Kevin Loundes (234) already to the fore. But he is on his own at the finish with nobody else in sight. But in case you thought it was easy, there is  a third photo just after he had finished.

Highlights of the women’s races in the Manx Gas Cross Country in photos by Ian Astin

Gail Griffiths  (top photo) turned the tables on Jackie Lee (second photo), the winner of the opening round. Rosy Craine (218 middle photo with 203 Catriona Cox who was third in the under 17 race) again took third place among the seniors and veterans.  Nationally ranked Gemma Astin (230) won the junior women’s race over the same distance, overcoming recent health problems, ahead of the consistent Rachael Franklin (211).
