The Dave Abbott Cross Country Trophy

2025 WINNERS: DILLON HOBBS & AMELIE KARLSSON

This trophy is awarded to both a male and female member for achievement in cross country running

Originally introduced for men in 1995, a second trophy to be awarded for the women members was introduced in 1999.

Dave Abbott joined Tunbridge Wells Runners in 1983 and had run at a very high level in his younger years. He donated the prize – a piece of engraved Swedish glass set on a wooden base – based on his love of cross country running.

Club members vote for the two recipients based on their achievements over the previous winter cross country season.
