On Sunday 23 October, Ampthill & Flitwick Flyers proudly presented the Ampthill Trophy. This two-lap cross country race is set in historic Ampthill Park, Bedfordshire and combines challenging hills with opportunities to stretch the legs. Conditions were almost perfect with moist ground underfoot and the slightest chill on a bright autumn day.

At 10:20 twenty-six juniors were unleashed to compete over a short course (3.5K), the melee leading to a tumble and a few choice words. At the front, Riverside Runners' William Mackay fought hard with chasing Harry Gilham (Herts Phoenix) to pull away on the second lap and finish 1st boy (14:41). Meanwhile, Katherine Mackay (Riverside Runners) battled with Alice Middleton (Biggleswade AC) to snatch victory in a photo finish 17:31.

The Main Race got underway at 11am with a sizeable field of 209, including GB International Huw Lobb. The athletes hurtled away from the start and round a coppice before dropping down to join the main course. Huw Lobb showed his class from the outset despite turning out for Beds & County the previous day in the National 4-stage Road Relays. Cheered on by a vocal crowd that shifted around the course, the athletes toughed it out, racing down hills and through the woods. 25 minutes later those at the Race Finish glimpsed site of race leader Lobb with a comfortable lead. Huw notched 26:37 over the 8K course to win the Men's Race, pursued to the last by gutsy Gareth Suffling (Luton AC). In the Ladies Race, Burnham Joggers Claire Pusey [33:24] pushed all the way to collect silverware ahead of impressive Donna McEwan from Bedford Harriers. Flying the flag for the Flyers were Andy Bierton [33:06, 21st] and Michelle Morris [39:13, 8th]

In the Team Competition a Wooton RR combo of Michael Aldridge [5th], Craig Mattocks [7th], Andrew Clancey [13th] combined to finish as 1st Men's Team, whilst Donna McEwan [2nd], Carla Fisher [4th] and Judith Ingledew [19th] did the business for Bedford Harriers.

The 2005 Ampthill Trophy was sponsored by Ampthill Town Council, No Limitz Sports and Saffron Plaza Restaurant.
