8 harriers had a go at the very tough 6.5m Bingley Show “10k” on Saturday. Despite the threat of rain before the race, the weather turned and was warm and sunny.
This was a trail champs race, so the tables have been updated with the points awards. Well done to all and thanks to Jill Hudson for her support.

We entered an impressive 16 teams into the 3 leg (2.75m per leg) relay race.
Well done to Niamh Jackson who was the fastest vet lady runner with a leg time of 17.58. Our fast mens team of Ben Coldwell, Lee Hardy and Tim Dixon came in 11 place overall which is a great performance.
The event was a sell out with 150 teams taking part.
Many thanks to Paul Chapman who organised our team entry this year.
