Minstead Stinger
Totton RC put the second running of their Stinger back to October from it's original May date so as not to clash with the nesting season, and found a clear sunny day. The 9.3 mile cross country also had a different start/finish location from last year which entailed running under the rumbling A31. The course is a mix of the RR10 races we do in the forest; hills, tracks, grass, woodland; one stream and very little mud; and the hill through woods up to the finish is a little tester.
