Club Run Race Reports 2010

Kirby Malzeard 10k - 06/06/10
by Margaret Brown

Congratulations and well done to all 43 YKH who participated in the club run for June. 18 Male and 25 Female. This was a hard HOT, HILLY run and you could feel the heat beating down on you just standing or warming up at the beginning. It has to be said that Nick Langan deserves a clap his first ever 10k race and beating his dad!!! Well done Nick- nice to see you do well, and I am sure you have a good running future ahead of you. We have a new lady runner Angie Arnell who is running really well and also has a bright future ahead and her daughter won the young girls up to age 12 race in a very good time (sorry don't have the time). They start young. Both are lovely to have with us - well done girls!!!

Results have shown YKH did particularly well.

Ladies

Sarah Nettleton, Robyn Oldham and Nichola Lawrence won the team prize.

Robyn won the Ladies race and Sarah Nettleton and Maureen Medlar won their age category group followed by Sarah Nettleton, Nicola Lawrence, Angie Arnell, Emma Gradwell, Liz Matthews, Joy Allen, Gill Barker, Sue Kelly, Margaret Brown, Maureen Medlar, Rachael Sullivan, Katie Oliver, Margaret Oliver, Irene Wellbourn, Vivianne Fraser, Julie Rookes, Sharon Langan, Helen Leach, Sue Adams, Jayne Fligg, Jane Thompson, Jean Wright, Mavis Young, Sue Igoe, and Jean Snelling.

The Men did brilliantly with Phillip Elliott-Dick coming in 4th place at a time of 35.34 followed by Nick Langan in his first ever 10k race. He beat his Dad for the first time ever in a time of 40.57 and came in 34th followed by Neil Kingham, Martin Smith, David Darton, Simon Drew, Colin Lea, Alaistair MacLeod, Daniel Sturgeon, Martin Medlar, Dick Hunter, Mark Sullivan, Graeme Adams, Garry Moss, Malcolm Fawcett and Paul Adams.

Lots of positive feedback from members who, even though it was hot and hilly, enjoyed the race and the hill training paid off!!!! The marshalls and organisers said how good it was to see so many Knavesmire Harriers. There were some great refreshments afterwards which everybody enjoyed. I am proud to be a YKH amongst you all - well done!!!!

Thank you to our supporters who cheered us on David Brown, Barbara Fawcett, and Maureen Adams.

Next Club Run Harrogate - look forward to seeing as many as can make it.

Apologies to anyone missing from the results list.

Ripon 10 mile - 09/05/10

Well done to all 40 Knavesmire Harriers who participated in this scenic, tough 10 mile run with hard hills to run up – ooh how we love those hills and to feel the burn!! One thing you can say about York Knavesmire Harriers is how they are always up for a challenge and never shy away from tough running!! It was a cold morning start and it was great to see 20 male and 22 female harriers running.

2 Marshalls both commented “Good to see Knavesmire Harriers running today” and “Knavesmire Harriers are out in force today and running well” - I just smiled and thanked them for their comments. Well done to the top 3 male and female York Knavesmire Harriers.

Female Sarah Nettleton, Angela Arnell and Nicola Lawrence

Male Phill Elliott-Dick, John Oliver and Neil Kingham

As always well done to all who completed this tough run.

Important reminder. Wearing of IPODS is strictly forbidden. I had forgotten and had worn mine to the start only to be reminded that it was not allowed . I did check with the organisers and they confirmed that it was forbidden and if you were seen to be wearing one in the race it could mean you would be disqualified. I appreciate and understand the ruling and I myself like to run with one but it would be hugely embarrassing if anyone was wearing one and disqualified from the race.
