Summer 10km Road Races

The 10k league got off to a brilliant start at Pocklington with a record field of 297 taking to the classic course round the foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds. A slight headwind in the early stages probably slowed us down in the early stages but other than that it was perfect running conditions.

There was a changing of the guard in the men’s race as new faces filled the top three places in the men’s race. Ewan Brown (Knavesmire) took the lead from the outset and he won with time of 32.51. Our own Andy Munzer had a lonely run for 2nd as he finished well clear of York University’s Richard Weeks Unfortunately Knavesmire Harriers had far too many runners out in the team race as they easily overcame  us… next time…

The women’s race was a more familar tale of the battle between the two Emmas as our Emma Willits defeated Emma Yates  from Knavesmire by nearly a minute to win in an impressive time of 37.38. The Ladies team claimed the bronze medal in the team competition

I look forward to seeing everyone for the next race at Tadacaster on their new flatter course  (14 May 7.30pm race start) http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5884829

Baildon Boundary Way

Several Acorns had a sparkling day running round the hills and canals of West Yorkshire. It was glorious running down through the Esholt woods, with spring in the air (or was it the sewage works!). We then came to the canal, 3 miles of running torture – very boring and tedious but it put miles under our feet. Just past Shipley we took to the country, up Shipley Glen, which sounds quite beautiful, until you have to run it! We eventually appeared at the top and then cantered across Baildon moor to the gallops. For those with time on their hands there was a great view across the snow drifts towards the Chevin and Leeds airport. Soon it was downhill, then across the road with a sharp up hill in the finish field.

The results are:

Pos Name Cat Time Cat Position
60 GOVER, Richard M 1:39:35 21/78
64 SMALLWOOD, Ian M50 1:41:05 9/52
98 LEWIS, Paul M50 1:46:16 13/52
178 BROWN, Ian M50 1:58:28 30/52
193 BINNS, Geoff M40 2:00:59 66/91
239 ROYCE, Michael M 2:10:02 62/78
288 TAYLOR, Emma F 2:17:48 15/21
308 FAWCETT, Andy M 2:24:15 75/78
