Report from Tom Lynch: The Kong Mini MMs are a series of 4 hours score course orienteering races over mountain terrain across the North of England and Wales. Normally there are a 4 events in the series, and there are series prizes for completing 3/4 races.

Report from Simon Quin Wednesday, 24th November was the 7th race in the Leeds 5k series at the Brownlee Centre in Leeds. It was a cold, still & dry night; excellent running conditions as normally there is a headwind on the long straight. 99 runners competed in three heats, each heat now a mass start but still using chip timing for the results. I’d been chasing a sub 20 minute 5k for a little while and had got tantalising close…
Report from Paul Tranter First time I’ve run this event. Organised by Race Best it’s a fairly flat course, starting in the centre of Tadcaster opposite the impressive John Smiths brewery buildings it does a loop around the town (about 2 miles), before heading out into the countryside.

Mick Jeffrey and Carol Armitstead were surprised to be setting of as the last two and both recorded the fastest times. Mick keeps his lead, (5 points), at the top the Eric Smith handicap table ahead of Ann Powell and Carol in second and third. See the full table…
