YVAA Grand Prix No.6 at Crossgates 30 July 2013
Several variations of this course have been used for previous Yorkshire Vets and PECO races. This race HQ was Barnbow Social Club, Manston Lane, Leeds and hosted by St Theresas AC. The Social Club is sited adjacent to the old Vickers tank factory and there were impressive steep ramps nearby used for tank test-driving.
The 5.5 mile race course was undulating fields and woodland, with a fast and long downhill field to start. It was a warm, dry evening, attracting 197 runners. The downside of the fast start was the long drag back to finish. No Bingley ladies competed.
Race winner was again David Watson, M40 , Holmfirth in 28m-20s.Read More »YVAA Grand Prix No.6 at Crossgates 30 July 2013
