Lots of fun marshalling 🙂 All good feedback from people on the way out.
Well done Rogan – glad you made it to the finish!
Thanks, but thanks also to all the marshals (or is it marshalls?) and organisers helpers etc.
Particular thanks to Jon Greenwell who kindly took over my marshalling duties at Wharfedale Meadows Park to allow me to run.
I trust/hope that the “missing” runner turned up and was aok.
Well done Colin and team for an excellent event once again. I can’t remember which marshal asked me if I was enjoying myself but actually I did up till about 8.5 miles and from then on it was the marshals who got me round so many thanks. Well done Rogan, hope you’re not too sore today.
Really enjoyed Marshalling last night. Great to be on the side lines for a change. A great experience and reminder of what running can mean to people, and that it’s not only about completing.
Otley 10 is a classic 10 mile race, but it was a shame that last night we all had to run on the footpaths. Not the clubs fault obviously, I assume it was the police that made the decision. I didn’t enjoy dodging the cyclists at the 9 mile mark!! But I love this race and look forward to next years event.
cracking effort colin… can you relax now?
Thanks to colin and all for making this a great event. Sore legs today.
Well done to Otley AC for a great day of sport, good running from all the club members, especially Rogan with 1.02 did really well and Emma Payne run an excellent 10 miles, well done Emma. Congratulations to Colin for achieving to organize the 10 mile race with good results, encouraging every runner to come back next year, well done Colin, you have completed well a huge task.
