Subject: V S Mini-update - This weekend and next
This Saturday - in the West Yorkshire Cross Country
League, Valley Striders are currently in the lead for the John Smith Trophy (we
finished second last year). This is based on points scores for men and
women combined. In order to retain this lead, we need as many Striders as
possible (especially the faster ones) to run at
This Sunday – good luck to all the Striders running
the Abbey Dash. Tim Towler has emailed “The plan for those wanting a drink
after the Abbey Dash, and perhaps something to eat, is to meet up at Angels
Share at 12.00. I think we will deserve a lazy afternoon in Chapel A!”
Next
Sunday, Abbey Runners and Valley Striders will be closely matched for the Abbey
Valley Challenge at Thirsk. One club has 47 entries, the other 44
entries. If you have an entry, please run even if you are (like me) only
90% fit. If you’ve not entered yet, entries will be taken on the
day. Every runner counts in the Abbey Valley Challenge. The race is
11a.m. start. NB arrive early to register and/or collect your chip.
Also make your may across the racecourse early to get a good position at the
start. They already have over 1000 entries - last year, with 800
finishers, it was quite busy. Look out for an email next week to say
where we’ll be going after the race, hopefully to celebrate!
NB all 3
races score in the Striders Grand Prix.
See you there!
