Newark AC’s Elliott Rasmussen-Smith finishes seventh in the Danish Cross Country Championships

Elliott Rasmussen-Smith, who has dual nationality with Denmark, came seventh in the Danish Cross Country Championships on Sunday.

Running a tough and muddy 8k cross-country course, the results demonstrated the progression of the Newark AC endurance group athlete over the last year as he competed with the best in the country.

Leigh Marshall travelled to Belfast on Sunday for the British and Irish Masters Cross-country International as England reserve and came seventh in the open V45 race.

Meanwhile, Newark athlete Jan Bailey represented England for the third time on the international stage at the weekend.

Bailey was competing in the British and Irish Masters Cross Country International in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Competing against the top masters athletes from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Northern Ireland on a tough, relentless course, Bailey more than held his own.

Racing at a furious pace, he scored crucial points for England and missed out on the gold by just one point to the Irish team. In the end, Bailey brought home a well-deserved team silver medal.
