Supporting Lineham Farm Children's Centre
and Yorkshire Air Ambulance

These races, promoted by Valley Striders, are in support of Lineham Farm Children's Centre, Eccup, near Leeds AND, for 2009, the profits will be shared with Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Last year, one of our runners suffered a heart attack near to the 8 mile point which was inaccessible to the St John Ambulance 4 by 4. They called out the Yorks Air Ambulance helicopter who took him to Harrogate Hospital, where he was in intensive care for several days. We are glad to hear that he made a full recovery and he hopes to be back with our races in 2009, although he's not decided as yet whether to run the 10 mile or 2 mile race. For this reason, this year we have decided to donate half our race profits to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

RACE HISTORY & ARCHIVES

10 mile history

2 mile history

The first races, organised by St Leonard's Hospice and assisted by Valley Striders, were held in 1999 on the Harewood Hill Climb site. There was a 10k mixed terrain race and a 2 mile fun run.

For 2000, the races moved to the Harewood Estate. There was a 10 mile Trail Race around the Harewood Estate and Eccup Reservoir and a 2 mile Junior Race & Fun Run (the Harewood Hop). This was repeated in Autumn 2001 through to 2004, culminating in a record number of finishers in both races (609 in 10 mile, 179 in 2 miles, a total of 788). Over £12,500 was raised for St Leonard's Hospice over the 6 years - thank you!

In 2005 we had a record number of finishers (242) in the 2 mile, the total for 2 races was 781. In 2006 the 2 mile increased to 249, the total for 2 races was again 781. In 2007 the numbers were 469 and 175, a total of 644.

For these last three years, the recipient of our fundraising has been Lineham Farm Children's Centre at Eccup. The route of the Trail Race goes within 1 mile of Lineham Farm. The 3 years have raised over £10,750 for Lineham Farm. Thank you to Harewood Estate, Yorkshire Water, Up & Running and Duffield Printers for your support. And thank you to all you runners!

We welcome new and returning runners to our race in 2008, which will again benefit Lineham Farm.

Apologies to those of you in the 10 mile for the queues for the gates - this is the first time the gates have not been opened - we will ensure this does not happen next year. Apologies to those of you coming late to the refreshments - we ran out of milk - we will ensure this does not happen next year. We hope the injured runners have all recovered and are back to full training now. Thank you to everyone who entered - we hope you all enjoyed the race and will come back next year (but don't tell too many friends about it). If you have any comments about the race please email them to us. If you click this link the email address will appear. And finally, to any Valley Striders and St Leonard's Hospice volunteers reading this, THANK YOU! Bob
