A number of Hereford Couriers took on the mud and the hills of Fownhope & Tintern this morning taking part in the Gord’s 6 Classic & Offa’s Orror with some great performances to report.

The Reds had a good team out for the Wye Valley Runners organised race which was approx 6.5miles along the River Wye, up onto Caplor hill before returning back to Fownhope finishing at the recreation park.
