Roundhay parkrun – Sat 27 Nov
From Adam Gerrish… Photo credit Adam Gerrish and Roundhay parkrun I’m a fair weather runner at the best of times and often found moaning about the cold during runs! However today was my 50th parkrun so I dragged myself out of bed ready to face Storm Arwen. Most of the local parkruns were cancelled due […]
Brampton to Carlisle 10-mile – Sun 21 Nov
From Helen Waddington… This is the oldest 10-mile race in the country and previous winners have included Steve Cram and Ron Hill. It’s a fast course and the conditions for this year’s 69th race were near perfect. Over 550 mainly club runners took part including a sizeable Scottish contingent. The race is organized in traditional […]
West Yorkshire XC race 3 Thornes Park – Sun 21 Nov
From Petra Bijsterveld… Photo credit Stew Knowles The third race in the WYXC series took place in Thornes Park in Wakefield on the first properly cold day this autumn, however without rain and with very dry ground it made for good running conditions once you had overcome the horror of taking all your warm layers […]
Fewston & Swinsty 4 in 4 – Thu 18-Sun 21 Nov
From Colin Williams… Over the last four days I have been taking part in the Fewston and Swinsty 4 in 4 days Marathon series. The marathons, along with options to run 6.5miles, half marathons and as far as you can in 6 hours are organised by Grim up North Running, a very friendly group. Their […]
Tadcaster 10 mile – Sun 21 Nov
From Adam Gerrish… Iain had let me know he was running the Tad 10 so I decided what better way to spend your birthday morning than with a nice 10 miles through the countryside, so I signed up too. He assured me it was undulating but much flatter than Guy Fawkes! On a fresh November […]
Harriers v Cyclists – Sat 20 Nov
Nathan Edmondson and Jack Cummings served up one of the closest finishes of the year as they took a superb first and second respectively at this popular event up and around the trig on Baildon Moor. Nathan just led the way on the climb but Jack battled fractionally ahead on the descent. It was neck […]
Tour of Pendle – Sat 20 Nov
From Bob Hamilton… I thought I’d given up on this lark some ten years or so ago. Increasingly achy knees had steered me towards cycling over running long distances. On the bike, I could still have all day adventures of the kind I once enjoyed on the fells. It satisfied the buzz I craved. Apart […]
PECO XC Middleton Park – Sun 14 Nov
From Dan McKeown… Photo credit Nigel Pepper There were a few twists and turns at the first PECO XC of the season, as some confusion over the race route at the start led to everyone doing an extra half mile, and the leaders going completely off course before turning around and having to wade back through […]
Dunnerdale Fell Race – Sat 13 Nov
From Alison Weston… Jack Wood and I took part in the Dunnerdale fell race at the weekend. Almost 5 miles with over 1800 ft ascent – a bit like a very condensed 3 Shires route! Jack up at the front and myself way back but happy to finish in just over an hour. Unable to […]
