Bumper update this month! Lots happening.
In the Club Championship, we had two races – Vale of York 10 and Guiseley Gallop. We had 5 runners at York and 16 at Guiseley. Is York a viable option for people next year?
The handicap results for the 5 at Vale of York were:

The top 5 at Guiseley Gallop against their handicaps were:

We also had a number of Marathoners at Manchester and London, a few people hitting their 4 parkrun to get their bonuses and a parkrun takeover to get people their 10 bonus points (remember 5 volunteers trebles that bonus!).

Well done to all! Each of you pick up 50 points as a replacement for your lowest of your 6 scoring runs.
This all means there’s no change at the top of the table, with Rowan (who’s leaving us) still at the top. Though Lee has joined him on the same points, but 2nd on countback. 3rd is James Nundy. Honourable mention for Vicki Hipkiss for completing her Marathon, Parkrun bonus and having 2 volunteers for the bonus, coming in 4th!

Remember Race 5 is the Even Splits 5k series at the Brownlee Center, we’ve already had 3 races, and there’s 6 more to go! Get in early to avoid missing out.
May’s races see the very busy annual Leeds Half Marathon and the hilly but enjoyable Apperly Bridge Canter (ABC) run by our friends at Horsforth Harriers, which we believe is sold out (first time that’s happened) – so good luck everyone who’s running! The list of Club Championship races can be found here.
As always, if you feel you’ve been missed (it will most likely be by accident) then please let me know by Facebook or Email.
Your friendly CC rep,
Malcolm Taylor
