Mansfield Harrier Luke Duffy makes the journey to the Sport Ireland campus on the outskirts of Dublin this week to compete in the Mixed Relay at the Spar European Cross Country Championships.

The 21-year-old made the bold decision to chase selection in this senior event where only two qualify rather than his age group, the U23 team event where six will compete for Great Britain.

This is Duffy’s first GB appearance having made several England appearances as a Junior with the highlight being his bronze medal as a 16 year old at the Youth Commonwealth Games in Nassau back in 2017.
