like to run. We will then pick a V S Senior “A” Team according to the
criteria below and then assemble the rest of the runners into teams.
Similarly for junior teams. For list of names so far see www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsteams.htm

The Club Team race will be between a single team selected by each
club. This team must contain at least 1 Lady and at least 1 Vet (40+) and no
more than 1 Male under 40. This race is open to all PECO and WYWL clubs.

In addition, there will be prizes for the first ‘other’ teams in
each of the following categories: M Open, M Vets (40+), M SuperVets (50+), F
Open, F Vets (40+), F SuperVets (50+) and ‘Mixed’ (at least 1 F per

After the presentation of prizes for this race, we will hold the

Looking Ahead – Save the

Met.
Saturday

A few
more required to help – please email [email protected] if you
are available all or a part of the morning. Please check www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsmarshals.htm
for list of marshals.
We will
be allocating people to marshalling positions about 10 days before the race.
Tuesday
29 April – V S Junior Mile and V S Spring Handicap
Save the
date! Both races will start on the path by Eccup Reservoir.
Followed by food at Leos.
We’ll present
Performance Certificates for 2013 that evening. Check http://valleystriders.org.uk/VSPerfsByName.xls to see
whether all your races have been included and whether you have won an award.
Saturday
3 May – Roundhay parkrun organised by V S
Many of
you were involved when we took over Leeds (Woodhouse Moor) parkrun last August.
We will
be “taking over” the Roundhay parkrun on 3rd May. We’ll need
about 12 people to marshal and do the finishing admin. And a few more to
be pacers. More information to follow.
Saturday
17 May – parkrun mobrun at Roundhay
The
parkrun mobrun is an annual event, in 2012 it was at Woodhouse Moor, in 2013 at
Templenewsam and for 2014 it will be at Roundhay.
The
competition is simply to be the club with the most runners. In 2012 we
were 2nd and in 2013 we won, we had 41 finishers! Can we get
50 on 17 May at Roundhay?
NB this
is likely to be in the V S Grand Prix (to replace Wetherby 10k that clashes
with Leeds Country Way)
