Leeds Country Way supporters information
 
Spectators and supporters welcome - the most popular place is at Golden Acre Park for the start of leg 5 (see handover times below), the other changeover points are as follows
start - Garforth Leisure Centre
1-2 - Stanley on the Rothwell to Wakefield Road
2-3 - Scotchman Lane, Morley
3-4 - Thornbury Roundabount on the Leeds - Bradford Road
4-5 - Golden Acre Park - just by the tunnel
5-6 - Scarcroft, one mile down Thorner Lane (Thorner Lane is opposite the Bracken Fox pub)
 
Leeds Country Way runners information
 
Estimated (earliest) start times as follows.  We recommend you meet your partner at the end point about an hour before you are due to start running, this gives 30 mins to drive, 20 minutes to get ready and 10 minutes to wonder whether your incoming pair will be early.  You may want to meet up with another pair at the finish and so drive one car back to the start with four aboard.
 
Entry fees are £6.50 per person, could someone on each leg (preferably someone who is going to be at the club the following Tuesday) collect this for as many people as possible.  Cheques payable to Valley Striders please, cash will do nicely, too!
 
We will try to get race numbers to at least one member of each pair, or at the worst get the numbers to one runner on each leg.  Further details to follow.  Bring 4 safety pins.  Anyone without a V S vest??
 
I think these are the earliest times, that's a challenge to prove me wrong!  Times will be somewhat slower if it is particularly hot or wet.  Note that if these times are achieved, all teams will get their batons round, but there are cut-off times of 14.30 at Golden Acre and 15.30 at Scarcroft.
 
Food at the finish at Garforth Sports Centre - keep your race number!

P.S. Please check NOW with your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/etc that they don't have any SURPRISES planned for you this weekend.  One of our number (no longer on the above list) had just come back from a recce run and mentioned the date of the race to his wife.  Her shocked expression was due to the fact that she had secretly booked a weekend away for them both.
 
See you all on Sunday (runners and supporters)
