Help!
We still need 4 marshals for the Peco
on Sunday (11th), so please call me on 0777 5898 558 if you can
help. It’s 09:00 start at Danefield Car Park on Otley Chevin. Without
our marshals it will be a rather dull 2 lap course for the runners, with our
marshals there will be enough to use the planned route which has more
interesting terrain on the second lap. Email me if you can help or text
to 0777 5898 558
Also if anyone wants to benefit Age UK
with £20, then just help at their race at Harewood a week on Sunday (18th).
If they don’t get free marshals from the running clubs, they’ll be paying out
£20 (or more) for paid marshals. Oh and you still get a free bacon sandwich
and/or hot dog plus hot drink which is a better deal than any race organised by
VS. Email me if you can help.
Next Week
A little change to our normal schedule
Tuesday 13th 6pm - Kathy’s
Group as usual
Tuesday 13th 7pm - Striders
Group from LEOS, running hills at Church Lane (rather than the usual 2nd
Tuesday track session). NB if you forget and turn up at Leeds Met by
mistake, you’ll have time to jog from Leeds Met to Church Lane and do the
hills.
Wednesday 14th 8pm - Drills session at Leeds
Met. For those of you that came to Alison Rose’s session at Leos a couple
of years ago, this is similar but will be on Leeds Met track so will allow
rather more room than when we bumped into each other in the Leos
clubhouse. The cost is £6 of which £4 is the normal track fee for Leeds
Met and £2 goes to Carnegie Physios. I’m told that 2 physios and 2
international athletes will be in attendance. This is open to all members
of Leeds clubs, places are limited and close on Sunday 11 March, go to www.leedsathletics.net to book and follow
the link for “Coach and Athlete Workshops”.
Wednesday 14th
from 7:45pm – Fell runners social session at East of Arcadia. John
Bottomley emailed “There is no agenda for this, in fact I would be surprised if
anyone mentions running, of any kind(!) as it's just a social event”
Thursday 15th 6:45pm -
Scott Hall session, afterwards curry at Sheesh Mahal
For all of these check website early
next week in case any change of plan
More Dates
Saturday 10 March – Troller’s Trot. In the last
email I said it was in the VS Fell Championship, someone from the Fell Group
corrected me and said it wasn’t, so I decided it was in the Grand Prix, which
it isn’t either, but lots of Striders are going so hope you all have a good day
(and evening/night at the campsite)
Sunday 11 March – final Peco race at Otley Chevin – Lots
of Striders to run please, we had a Striders XC record of 40 runners at Golden
Acre. Can we better that? VS Grand Prix points available.
Juniors also welcome to run – 1 mile for 8-10yrs at 10:00, 2 miles for 11-16
yrs at 10:20. All races pay and register on the day and come early
because parking is, to say the least, tricky! Details at www.pecoxc.co.uk
Sunday 18 March – Heptonstall (VS Fell Championship),
also East Hull 20
Thursday 22 March – Drills session at Leeds Met – same as
on 14 March in case you missed it or it was full
Sunday 25 March – Thirsk 10 (also Yorks Vets 10 mile
championships), also Bradford 10k
Saturday 30 March – Midgley Moor (VS Fell Championship)
Sunday 1 April – Baildon Boundary Way (entries closed),
also You Muddy Fools races from John Smeaton followed by Peco presentations –
details will be at www.pecoxc.co.uk
Meanwood Valley Trail
Saturday 14 April – Meanwood Valley Trail - organised by
Valley Striders – junior races (7-10yrs and 11-16yrs) at 10:00, senior race at
10:30, 70 marshals needed. Dan Murray is co-ordinating marshals, please
email him [email protected] if you can help on
the day. Please do this as soon as possible so that he has plenty of time
to plan who’s where.
Additionally for MVT we need help publicising the event –
please email me if you can help by e.g. handing out forms at the end of races,
putting forms in sports shops and sports centres, encouraging friends and
relations to run
Calderdale Way Relay
Sunday 13 May - Sarah Smith is doing really well, she has
a team and a half so far, but she’s entered two teams so at least 6 more
runners required [email protected]
Lyke Wake Race
Another Sarah Smith promotion, she emailed “We now have 5
but we need 6 people to
make a team so I am hopeful that we can find a few more as we need
some reserves.
“Race website is http://www.lykewakewalk.co.uk/
“Please see the race report from 2006 by Mick Wrench and Alan Hutchinson on the
Valley Striders website – click on the “For Club Members” tab and then on “Race
Reports”

Marathon Talk, by Martin Yelling &
Tom Williams, last week “live from Leeds with Liz Yelling”, wasn’t with Liz
because the baby was ill, but had a more local special guest instead, click on
the link to find out who it was - Marathon Talk live from Leeds with Tracey Morris
(oops I may have given the game away).
I’m told that the Spring Issue of
Fellrunner has, on page 69, a pic of Sylvia at the Haworth Hobble.
