Matthew Collins led the way for the Olympians by finishing second in the men's race, while Charlotte Hunter was fourth in the women's race – at Attingham Park in Shrewsbury.

That secured the duo automatic qualification to the Regional Cross Country Championships in March.

The Olympians' success continued with numerous runners achieving podium places in their age group categories.

As well as her qualification, Hunter gained a place on the podium as the second senior woman home.
