We will be holding the Winter Handicap race on Sunday 29th December at 11:00am. This will be the trail route of approximately 5 miles, starting outside the gatehouse at the bottom of Goodrick Lane and taking a clockwise circuit across fields towards the Harewood estate and back along the reservoir towpath. We have decided to hold the race in memory of Terry Midgley and Matthew Adcock by having the option of running in fancy dress with the themes of chef, lifeguard, rugby player or superhero. As usual, if you can’t run but would like to join in the fun, we need plenty of volunteers to marshal and help at the start and finish.
