Well done everyone who ran the Meanwood Trail Junior Race or the Senior Race on Saturday 16 May!
The storms overnight Friday put a few people off but conditions were better than feared.
A record 100 juniors ran in the 1 mile or 2 mile race. The number of senior finishers, 342, was our second highest ever.
Hope you are back for the Harewood Trail Races on Sunday 4 October and/or next year's Meanwood Races.

Guiseley Gallop 2001 in Nunroyd Park - results

March 2001
Regarding the 24th March, the Emergency Regulations had closed all Public Rights of Way in Adel Woods. There were potential alternative routes using other trails in the woods but these were not as wide. Taking into consideration the recent declaration of Foot and Mouth in West Yorkshire and the likelihood that restrictions would increase rather than decrease we decided to postpone the race.
Numbers already issued would be valid for the revised date. Click here for arrangements if you have already entered. (this letter was sent out to all entrants on Wed 14 March). Entries 203-367 were received up to and including 24 March. All numbers have now been sent out including those marked "collect on day". These runners have been contacted with information about the revised date and arrangements. Entries commencing 368 arrived during May and June.

June 2001
We now have approval from Leeds City Council Public Rights of Way Dept, West Yorkshire Police,
and North of England A A (permit 200124).
In view of the recent outbreak of Foot & Mouth disease at Middleton, near Ilkley, only 10 miles from our race, you should re-check nearer the date that the race is still on.
LATEST UPDATE 28TH JUNE - WE'RE ON!
We are expecting a large number of entries on the day - please arrive early!
