YVAA Cross Country Championship

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.

Full details can be found here.

Put this date in your Diaries. We want teams in all age groups from 35 to 70+ male and 35 to 65+ female. We usually get at least 30 Holmfirth Harriers Taking part and it is a great team event.

The Vets Secretary, Rob Kersey, will be recruiting runners to take part and entering teams in the new year

Update: As of the 4th of February we have 35 runners hoping to take part. There is plenty of room for more and we are especially short of all women's age groups and M35 to M49 in the men's. So please run if you are available www.yvaa.org . 

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?
