Several Moray Road Runners helped North District teams to medal success at the Scottish Inter-District Cross County championships at Stirling last weekend.

Beth Urquhart, Nicole Taylor and Hannah Stephen won team bronze in the under-15 girls, while Blair and Josh Milne also took bronze in the under-17 boys event.

Well done to all of them and to everyone who ran in difficult muddy conditions.
