email [email protected] if you’d like to
run. We already have about 45 names so now need 15 more plus
reserves. The 4th and 5th teams are less
competitive and we still have just a few first come first served places
available, so if you can run 10 miles, whatever the pace, please please sign
up! Names required by Tuesday 23rd.
Next Fell
Championship races - 20 July Ingleborough, 3 August Borrowdale, 4 August Round
Hill (near Otley)
Kit – message from
“Mr Kit”
Hooded Tops
Message from Mr Kit –
Would anybody like to order a new VS branded hooded top so that you have it
ready for the chillier evenings? The costs are:
Black Hoody (no zip)
- £21
Grey Hoody (full zip)
– £22.50
Each hoody will have
‘Valley Striders Leeds’ on the back (heat applied) and the same on the chest
only smaller and embroidered.
For an extra £2.40
you can also have your name embroidered on the front chest so when they all get
left in a pile before a race, you know which is yours at the end!
Sizes are Small,
Medium, Large and XL. Please ask to try a fellow striders top if you’re unsure
about size.
Let me know if anyone
would be interested in kids sizes too and I’ll find out about costs etc.
Can I please request
orders by no later than Tuesday 6th August 2013 to [email protected]
Running Vests and
T-shirts
We don’t carry stock
for Valley Striders club vests as there is such a variety – fabrics, sleeve
style (none/short/long), fitting (men/women), and size.
We have two suppliers
for, both in Ilkley.
·
Complete
Runner (Fastrax), on the left hand side of the Leeds road about half a mile
before the town centre (they have a selection of styles)
·
Dobson
and Robinson (Intersport) at 46 The Grove (near Betty's Cafe) (some of the
women prefer their style).
For both of these,
printing is done individually (the Fastrax is a flock print which is ironed
on).
You will need to go
in and try for size, then probably best to have it mailed on to you (they may
make a small charge for this).
Or if you can try on
another Strider’s vest and if it fits, just phone through and order! For
Dobson & Robinson it is better to phone than order online as the postage is
cheaper that way.
Future events
Planning for 2014? I’ve just seen Run for All season ticket 2014
advertised at £100. This guarantees entry to the York marathon and the
four 10k races.
Congratulations to John Marsham
Kim Threadgall emailed last Sunday - John Marsham completed the Bob Graham Round last night
after 23 hours and 8 minutes, 42 fells, 66 miles and 27000 feet of climbing.
Awesome effort and he is now eligible to join the BGR club as he completed it
in less than 24 hours
John emailed his support team “Thanks
for all the advice and encouragement on this – it obviously worked – 23.08.
Cold pizza, cold potatoes and running poles are definitely the way to go!”

Amanda Seims, running the Lakeland 50 next weekend
Mountain Rescue
teams provide valuable assistance in many emergencies, not just in the
mountains and countryside but in public emergencies such as flooding. It
is also staffed by volunteers who give up a lot of their time and money to
properly train for their role.
I ran the Mont Blanc marathon in 2011 to raise money for my local MRT and
this year I'm stepping up the bar to run 50 miles to raise money for the
national organisation, since I enjoy spending time in various national parks
around the UK. http://www.justgiving.com/Amanda-Seims1
Give that so far
the longest run I've completed was 27 miles then this will be a tough challenge
for me. The route is along mountain trails and includes 3000m of ascent just
for the added challenge! More details here: http://www.lakeland100.com/the-lakeland-50
