Baildon Boundary Way
This event is now 75% full. Apply now to avoid disapointment.
Entry forms were sent to over 2,500 email addresses in our database on
7 & 8 October 2009, but around 100 of those emails ‘bounced’ back because the addresses were no longer valid. If you were expecting an entry form by email but did not receive one, you are probably one of those whose email ‘bounced’!
Entry forms are now available from this site. Go to Baildon Events on the menu,
top left, and then to the Boundary Way page.
Airedale Athletics Partnership Winter Challenge.
I was hoping to get it out earlier and have been waiting on tenterhooks for the Cop Hill race results to be published on t’interweb – but it hasn’t happened yet and so we’ve only got the Shepherds Skyline results from last weekend’s double header.
Skyrac have taken to the fills with huge vigour and vitality and the trio of Martin Farrar, Robert Pritchard and Chris Dove make up the top three. Since it is a Winter “Challenge”, the gauntlet has been well and truly thrown down to the other clubs.
Next weekend sees another double header with two races:
First up, on Saturday, is the Harriers v Cyclists race. This is a unique race as we test out what’s faster over rough terrain – two legs good or two wheels better? A fast and furious race from the Fishermans Inn at Dowley Gap with a quick dash to the summit of Hope Hill and back down. More details at http://www.bingleyharriers.org.uk/docs/HVC2009advert.pdf. By the way, to qualify for points in the challenge, you’ve got to run (not cycle).
Then, on Sunday, it’s over to Silsden for the Rivock Edge race. Just over 6 miles and 800 feet of climb on the less explored face of Ilkley Moor. Start is from the Bridge Inn at Silsden at 11.15. Details at http://kcac.co.uk/events-we-organise/rivock/
Please note that one of the future races in the Challenge, the ever-popular Auld Lang Syne race on New Years Eve, was pre-entry only this year with a strict limit on entries. The race limit was reached on 17 November.

All the best and happy running!
