DATES

 

Saturday 17 May – parkrun mobrun at Roundhay (in VS Grand Prix)

 

Final reminder for the “mobrun”, can we have more runners than any other club?  

·         Although most runners don’t wear club vests for parkrun, this is the week when everyone does (I’ll have some spare ones for those who’ve not yet made the trek to Ilkley).

·         To those not yet registered on parkrun, please do so by Friday midnight and print your barcode.

·         To those who’ve recently joined VS, please amend your personal details to Valley Striders.

·         To those who’ve not yet joined VS, please amend your personal details to Valley Striders and bring your membership fee (£15) on Saturday.

·         And I’m told the café will be open from 9:30, so please can the fast Striders cheer the slower ones near the café and then grab some tables!

 

See you Saturday

 

Other events on Saturday are Fairfield Horseshoe (in VS Fell Championship) and River Moy Half.

 

Wednesday 21 May – John Carr 5k race 3 at Esholt (in VS Grand Prix)

 

No entries on the night and entries close on Saturday.  Best time over 3 races counts for GP pts.  Results for the first 2 races see later in this email.

·         All sessions from Leos

·         Pie and Peas at 7:15pm - book at [email protected] before 10pm Sunday 18 May, choosing meat pie or veggie bake, mushy peas or baked beans, and whether you want apple pie.

·         Pie and Peas at 8:30pm - book at [email protected] before 10pm Sunday 18 May, choosing meat pie or veggie bake, mushy peas or baked beans, and whether you want apple pie.

Thursday 22 May – Apperley Bridge Canter (in VS Grand Prix). 

 

Race is filling fast, already over half full, so don’t rely on being able to enter on the day.  Details at www.ukresults.net but cheaper to enter by post

 

More race dates were listed in last week’s V S Update which you can find on the website, but there are two relays coming up and we’re recruiting teams.

 

Saturday 21 June – Yorkshire Vets Road Relays

 

The race is at Roberts Park, Shipley, so not too far away.  Teams as follows M35(4 per team), M40(4), M50(3), M60(3), M70(3), W35(3), W45(3), W55(3).  2.9 miles per leg.  £5 per person to enter.

 

Email [email protected] if interested.  Note that we can make up teams that cross age groups, e.g. if we had two M40’s and two M50’s they could be a M40 team.

 

So far we have a complete team for the M60 category, but only one other entry.  Please email ASAP.  Check your entry on www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsteams.htm

 

Sunday 29 June – Bradford Millennium Way Relay

 

Details were in last week’s V S Update.  Email [email protected] if interested.

 

So far we only have 5 runners, we’re looking for 20 to make 2 teams plus some reserves.  Please email ASAP. Check your entry on www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsteams.htm

 

Yorkshire Evening Trail series – information from series organiser and 2nd claim VS member, Jason Praill

 

The new Yorkshire Evening Trail Series starts with the "Maypole Meander" on Wednesday 28th May, at the Gascoigne Arms, Barwick in Elmet, LS15 4JQ.


The same self guided format with £2 pub voucher as enjoyed by Striders at the Hot Cross Run. Start when you want between 6.30 & 7.30pm, so there's less hassle with rushing to the event after your daily commitments. Bus number 64 runs half hourly from Leeds and on street parking is available. Entries on the day are welcome and cost £5 att / £7 unatt.  Full details on
www.countrytrailraces.co.uk

Series points will be calculated relative to the fastest male and female times, your best 3 scores will count. Series champions will be crowned, medalled or T-shirted, I haven't decided yet! There will be a prize fund created from all the races that I'll stretch down through the order. A Valley mini-league table will also be provided for future VS email updates.


The full series dates are:

·         Wednesday 28th May at the Gascoigne Arms, Barwick in Elmet, LS15 4JQ

·         Wednesday 18th June at the Fox & Hounds, Bramhope, LS16 9AX

·         Wednesday 16th July at the Fox Inn, Thorner, LS14 3DX

All start at 6.30pm.

Come and run, suitable for all, there's no race pressure.

Congratulations to Andy and Mary on winning their age categories.

 

Apologies that I haven’t put in chip positions and age-group positions for the full results.  To do this involved copying and pasting a page (50 runners) at a time, and by the time I’d done 40 pages (2000 runners) I was getting a repetitive strain injury – I didn’t fancy doing another 60 pages.  If anyone wants to volunteer to complete the exercise, email me!

 

Alex Watson-Usher (twice) and Sarah Harper were taking photos on the route and Kathy Robbins at the finish.  I also was emailed a link to a Facebook page of photos from Becky Wheatley (“Wheata Bex”) – I’ve borrowed the pics of VS runners.  All are now on the VS website (click on “Photos” on top bar),

Junior 100 metres

 

At the training session at GSAL on Tuesday we had 47 juniors who all, at some time during the session, ran a timed 100 metres on the track.

 

Valley Striders has not yet purchased starting guns, starting blocks, electronic sensors for the blocks, photo finish, etc, so doesn’t quite meet IAAF standards, but I did have my new 500 memory stopwatch (reduced to £19.99 from Argos)

 

·         Races 1 to 5 for 6-8 yrs,

·         Races 6 to 11 for 9-10 yrs

·         Races 12 to 17 for 11yrs+

·         NB some juniors had two attempts, their slower time is marked as "dup"

·         Thanks to Janet Tynan, Fergus McLellan and Rich Smith for officiating
