Sunday Runs

Sunday runs for the next 3 months will alternate between Greens and Apperley Bridge (in conjunction with Eccleshill Runners) starting at 10:00 - this Sunday (5th Oct.) is from Apperley Bridge (meet in the car park opposite the Stansfield Arms pub).  Good luck to those taking part in the Gt.

Training Plan Oct - Dec.

The latest training plan (including details of races and Tuesday and Thursday sessions) is now available on the club website.

Training Tuesday 7th Oct.

As something different the training session next Tuesday will be a track session with Eccleshill Runners at Horsfall Stadium meeting at 7:00pm - there is a charge for using the track which is about £2.

Directions to Horsfall are:  from Bradford take the Manchester Road (A641), after passing Richard Dunnes sports centre on your left take the slip road up to Odsal Roundabout.  Take the 4th exit from the roundabout onto Halifax Road (A6036) after about half a mile you can see Horsfall Stadium on your left.  Turn left down Cemetery Road (before the Kings Head pub) and Horsfall is on your left half way down. For those with Sat Navs the post code is BD6 1JQ.

No Watch race - Thursday 16th Oct.

Baildon Runners have again invited us to their no watch race on Thursday 16th Oct. (7:00) from the rugby club in Jenny Lane.  The idea is they tell you the course and distance and you expertly predict your finishing time taking into account the hills, prevailing wind, what you had for your tea, etc.  You are not allowed to wear a watch (hence the name no-watch race) and the person finishing closest to their predicted time is the winner.  There will be food afterwards in the rugby club.  Please make an effort to represent your club.

Calderdale Way relay
