Be bright, be safe
Just a reminder as it starts to get dark before many club runs and sessions have finished – for your own safety and that of the group, please wear hi-vis clothing and head/chest torches.
Wetherby 10k – Sun 5th Sept
From Jonathan Turner… Well done to Sally (third lady overall and second LV40) and Hilda (first LV65) as the popular Wetherby 10k made a welcome return on Sunday. It was a little warmer than forecast by the 2pm start time which added to the challenge. The scenic loop from the racecourse is mostly on tarmac, […]
Anglesey Half Marathon – Sun 5th Sept
From Lucy Williamson… It was a beautiful day for the Anglesey half marathon on Sunday. Starting on the Menai Suspension Bridge and running out and back to Beaumaris with fantastic views of the Menai Straits and Snowdonia.

Bullock Smith Ultra – Sat/Sun 4th/5th Sept
From Colin Williams… The Bullock Smith Ultra was an event postponed from last year. It’s a challenging 56-mile route, if you don’t go the wrong way and add three miles on like I did.

From John Hayes… The route for the Skipton Trail Half Marathon takes in Sharphaw (twice), Flasby, Hetton and the trails and backroads up and around Winterburn Reservoir. At about mile 12, when your legs have had enough and your thoughts are turning to the post-race meal, there is a steep climb back over Sharphaw. Most […]

Kilnsey Show – Tue 31st Aug
From Rachel Carter… In the absence of any women in age categories beyond mine, or men aged 60 years or over taking part, I was set off first in this handicapped ‘Metric Mile’ (1500m) race – involving 3 and a bit laps set out on a Dales field opposite Kilnsey Crag – think dry cross […]
Ilkley Skyline – Mon 30th Aug
From Rachel Carter… When I saw that Peter had recced part of the Skyline route in July I commented on Strava that I would be interested in running it too if that was his intention as I knew it would be good training for the 3 Peaks in October. August BH weekend was pencilled in […]

UTMB – Sat/Sun 28/29th Aug
