RU taking the P.


 
Thanks to all who turned out to run/walk at the first Taking the P run on Sunday 20th June We really appreciate you doing so to help raise funds for
this very needy cause  We hope that you all enjoyed the morning and are proud of yourselves!!  We certainly enjoyed the day and it was good to see
people having a go that had never run or even walked 5k before the event.

The money raised will go direct to Research in to Prostate Cancer and related diseases.  Nothing has been deducted for expenses   We are indebted
to Nestle and the Civil Service Sports  Association for their generous donations and also to all others who have donated water, bags, the Mizuno
sign, Up and Running and Sweatshop.  Thank you

Brian Hughes Race Organiser
Richard Smith Race Director
York Knavesmire Harriers  
and to all those Harriers who helped on the day.......

"Hello  EVERYONE who helped  - in any way  -  to make this first “R U Taking the P”  the great success that it was – even the weather also lent a hand to make the day unforgettable!!

A big vote of thanks to all members who either helped or ran in the race/run/walk  We hoped that you enjoyed it as much as all the others taking part! We cannot mention you all because if we did we would be sure to miss someone out and that would never do!

It was quite different from the BM as the majority of entrants had never run before and some had never even walked 5k!   Many of them were so pleased with themselves and one fellow even wanted a certificate to prove he had done it as he said his family would not believe him!

The City of York Council are so pleased with the way the morning went that they hope we will make it an annual event.  Many of the runners also said they wanted to come along again next year.  However without your support this could not happen!  We are indebted to you all for your help and also those  family members who came and offered help  and also their support to the runners which is most important. 

It was very encouraging to see that the majority of people stayed behind and watched the last people coming home  The York Opera singers who gave us a final chorus at the end and the last 3, “Compo, Clegg and Foggy”

A great day and to top it off we have been awarded a Silver Grading from the British Association of Road runners.  This was all thanks to you and your assistance and cheerful support

THANK YOU

BRIAN HUGHES and RICHARD SMITH

Message from Jean 

I really must add that had it not been for the original idea to have a race in aid of Men's Prostate Cancer Research coming from Brian  and the
organisational assistance from Richard this race would never have got off the ground!!  They have put many hours of work into this race and we must also thank them for a truly memorable day!! They have deserved a well earned rest……..until next year!!!!
