These results see Lowestoft Road Runners starting the league in a strong position with the team standings as follows: Mixed A team 6th, mixed B 4th and the mixed C team also currently standing 4th. The women’s A, B and C teams the standings are 4th, 2nd and 2nd respectively and the men’s 9th, 7th and 5th.
Sadly Shaun Crowley had to pull out of the event due to an existing injury causing difficulties. The club are now looking towards the next fixture on 3rd December in Woodbridge and hoping for an equally strong, if not stronger attendance.
