Halloween, 31st October, Trick or Treat? Well, if you decide to take part in a TBH XC event organised by Dave Moir then there’s certainly no treats!

If Usain Bolt had ventured out in Newcastle this week he would have been relieved that he’s retired and not having to face the future talents of TBH juniors.
