Can’t believe I was one of 15 O60 in a top quality field with runners from Baildon and Ackworth and other clubs yet there were no over 60 prizes; unlike other races with similar fields or smaller that do offer prizes!!!. Seconly as a lot of us cheered in finishing runners might suggest a presentation time of 12.15 next year to enable a lot more people to actually see the awards…and sell a lot more of that delicious food!!!

You’re quite right – there was a very good field in the over 60’s this year and I have had a look at the entries and it does justify a prize for the over 60’s too. Yes – completely agree with the presentation time – last year we did it later and had requests for it to be a bit earlier so people didn’t have to wait around too long. I think the best way going forward is to actually have it at the finish line – so everybody can still hang around to cheer on other finishers. Thanks for your comments – and please get in touch via email – so we can sort something out regarding your prize.

Loved the course , organisation and friendliness but quite a few of us older runners are disappointed that the age categories are grouped in tens and not five or 55-59. We dont expect to win as you get older but compete rigorously in our own bands and the power of ten

Good point. I’d agree with that. We had some great runners in the older categories last year and would love to see more. I will change it this year – so that there are prizes for 1st in each 5 year age band – with a free race entry for the following year for the runner up.
