Teardrop Lakes stages second meeting in British Athletics series on Saturday with strong domestic line-ups throughout the age-group races

Hugo Milner, Jenny Nesbitt, Jess Gibbon, Kate Avery and Jake Wightman are among the entries for the second meeting in the British Athletics Cross Challenge series, which takes place in Milton Keynes on Saturday (Nov 13).

Milner, of Derby AC, won the senior men’s race at the first Cross Challenge event of the winter in Cardiff last month. 

Now, at Teardrop Lakes in Milton Keynes, his rivals are likely to include Zak Mahamed of Southampton AC and Sam Charlton of Wallsend Harriers.

Olympic 1500m finalist Wightman is also in the entries as he continues to build up his early winter fitness. Last weekend, for example, he was 14th at the Lindsays Scottish Short Course Championships.

Wightman isn’t the only track runner looking for some stamina work either. Ben Pattison, the 1:45 800m man from Basingstoke & Mid Hants, is also down to run.

Jenny Nesbitt leads the senior women’s line-up. The Cardiff runner, who was runner-up to Charlotte Arter at the Cardiff Cross Challenge, faces Jess Gibbon of Reading AC, Kate Avery of Shildon (main image, above), Mhairi Maclennan of Preston Harriers and Hannah Irwin of Cambridge & Coleridge.

Megan Keith was a comfortable winner of the under-20 women’s race in Cardiff last month and she is due to run in Milton Keynes again. Ellen Wood, runner-up to Keith at Cardiff, is also due to run.
