To help improve the results service in the newsletter we have introduced a new dedicated email address for you to report your results to:

Emails to this address will not be delivered to the main club mailbox but will divert directly to the club’s statistician instead and will therefore help to reduce the amount of email traffic.

Airedale Athletics Partnership Summer Fell League

Baildon Runners are leading the AA Off-road League and after the Bunny Runs and the Airedale Triple Challenge races, seven of the top 10 runners are from Baildon. Congratulations to new member Sue Brown for winning the three Airedale Athletic Triple Challenge races to bring her to 7th in the summer off-road challenge! Sue won the Baildon Boundary Way, Guiseley Gallop and Menawood Valley Trail. 'Chapeau' to Sue! (It's what they say for cycling - 'hats off' if you prefer) There's still time to enter the Bluebell Trail from Stainland and then there's Jack Bloor on Ilkley Moor. See you out there!

Here are Neil, Jim and Janice ready to go on the steep, slippery and windy Stanbury Splash. Neil is still third individual and Baildon is first club but the competition is beginning to get fiercer. Please look at the coming events to see if one suits you. Photo courtesy of Woodentops.
