Harrogate and District Summer Race League final positions
Without a handicap race this year, here are the final positions of the league: Harrogate won the main competition comfortably, followed by Ripon and Nidd Valley. This competition is based on the top 10 finishers from each club (men and ladies), so those clubs who pack the top 50 do well. It’s worth noting that these 3 clubs often have up to twice the entries of other clubs in the league. Otley finished 7 overall, and got a really good…

Sunday 22nd July – Arthur James Shakerrr
Report from Billy Travelled over to Saltaire with Arifa and Andy from Skyrac to take part in the Arthur James Shakerr and try to get a bit fitter after holidays and gout! Waiting about was quite chilly compared to the last few weeks but it warmed up just after the start. A 12.5k course along the canal and back with a detour through the woods near esholt. The recent warm weather meant the ground was firm under foot making it…
Brighouse Festival of Running 22nd July 2018
Report from Tony Walker The antithesis of the general reports on lovely hills/hours of endurance/great personal risk…This was possibly the dullest course ever!! 3 laps of which one lap was a straight road and then back again. 3 times. And it was flat aside from a marginal and I mean marginal rise towards the halfway point of the lap. It started in Sainsbury Car park! I love it! No distractions head down focus on your pace. Great organisation with split…
Saturday 21st July – Lochcarron Highland Games Hill Race
Richard Hamer ventures north: Despite having been a regular visitor to Scotland over the past 20 years or so, I’ve never been to a highland games, and back in January I decided that 2018 would be the year. My research brought me to the Lochcarron Games which ticked a lot of boxes in terms of date and location, and as an added bonus a fell race (hill race, north of the border). The games are held at Attadale, which is…
Saturday 21st July – Ingleborough Mountain Race
Report from Tom Lynch: This race was sold to me as a low key gala race, that usually attracts a smallish field ~120 runners, so there’s a good chance of a high placing. However, this year seemed to attract a bumper crowd – just my luck – possibly due to the weather and conditions underfoot and 209 runners turned out. The race is part of Ingleton Gala, which is a well organised/attended gala with all the usual attractions including raffles,…
