Haywards Heath Harrier Tim Hicks ran for Great Britain in the European Masters Off-Road Running Championships in Adelboden, Switzerland – the first time he had run for Great Britain.

Hicks said: “I entered the 9k mountain run – which seemed easier than the 36k trail run!

“Clear skies and a pleasant 17C greeted the 246 runners from 16 European countries at the start.

"I finished 28th out of 43 in the men’s-60 age group and 186th overall in a time of 1.06.09, having climbed 650m to just over 2,000m.

“It was a fantastic event, meeting and running with so many different nationalities, all being cheered on in many different languages.”

In Southern Athletics League at Ashford, Kent, the combined team of Haywards Heath Harriers and Lewes AC came fourth out of six teams.

There were only four Haywards Heath Harriers competing, but they all threw themselves into events.
