A beautiful, evening, great views of Harewood House and a sunset, what more could you want. We gathered on Thursday evening for the Autumn handicap race. Steph Gledhill was a worthy winner, with Christian Southee hot on her heels for the last few metres. The fastest runner of the evening was Hope Wearing, finishing in 34:48 and earning 100 Grand Prix points. Hope is a new member, and my guess is that she will prove to be one to watch! Many thanks to all the volunteers who marshalled and helped with time keeping. Without them the event couldn’t take place.
Look out for our next Handicap which will be in the New Year.
