Harrogate and District Summer Race League #2 – Tue 23 May
From Paul Stephens… The Harrogate Harriers race from Cardale Park takes an anticlockwise loop through Beckwithshaw and the lanes to the South West of Harrogate.

Chester HM / England Athletics Age Group Masters HM Championship – Sun 21 May
From Sally Armitage… This race was possibly one of my most enjoyable to date. My first time wearing the England vest & everything went to plan.
