Another great event and the only cross country of the year for many people. The venue changes each year, in recent years we have visited, Hull, Leeds, Wentworth Castle and Sheffield. The 45+ women and M70+ men run 5K and the F35 – 44 women and M35 – 69 men run 10K. We regularly get 30+ runners out for this event so why not have a go, while spikes are great if you have them, studded of road shoes are worn by many or even trail shoes if it is dry. The usual time for this race is a Saturday or Sunday in early March but occasionally we have run it in September. This year the event will be in Sheffield on Sunday 12th March. The venue is Norfolk Heritage Park, Sheffield.

I have written a YVAA report for the YVAA website and that should be on shortly but it would be great if someone would write a report as a member of our team perhaps a first timer for a new prospective?
