EvenSplits York 5K – Fri 25 Mar
From Dick Waddington… As with the Leeds version, these 5k races are held monthly from Feb-Nov and take place on the University of York Sport Village cycle circuit.

Heptonstall Fell Race – Sun 20 Mar

That might be enough detail for some, but if not here are a few extra nuggets: Tom Adams came within a minute of the course record and won by nearly five, while in the men’s team results, Ilkley Harriers came 4th. Conditions were nearly perfect. Blue […]
Oulton Park Duathlon – Sun 20 Mar
From Peter Shelley… If you fancy a sit down in the middle of your run, and don’t mind pedalling a bit, a duathlon may be for you.

Beautiful weather and beautiful results, with Ilkley 2nd, 3rd and 4th. An initial bust-up in the first 5k saw a breakaway group of five runners […]
