The winter handicap will take place on Sunday 29th December, starting at 10:45am. The route will be an anticlockwise loop of the Harewood permissive path- approximately 5 miles- starting just inside the big black gates opposite Wike Lane off Harrogate Road. The route is likely to be fairly muddy at this time of year, although there are some tarmacked stretches, so trail shoes are recommended. If you would like to run, please be there by 10:30 to collect your handicap time. Parking is permitted along Wike Lane, but gets quite busy with walkers so make sure you get there in plenty of time and car share if you can.
All members of the club are welcome and we would love to see you there. If you haven’t run a handicap race before, please go to the Valley Striders website<run<club handicap for details about how it works.
As usual, we will need plenty of people to help with marshalling the route and timekeeping- so if you would like to help, please message me or reply to this post.
And of course, there will be valuable Grand Prix points for all runners!
