Vets racing is an opportunity to run for your club and is open to any club member. You have to be aged over 35 years young to qualify for points but you can run as a guest. Why not give it a go.

Are you over 35 years young? Yes - then this could be time for your next challenge and run for your club!

Team YKH has been affiliated to the Yorkshire Veterans’ Athletic Association (yvaa) for a number of years and we welcome any club member who would like to run for their club and earn our team valuable points.

With several different competitions during the year including cross country, a track and field day, and Championship races there is something to suit all disciplines.

The Grand Prix race series offers approximately 10 events mostly off road and of about 10k distance held throughout the year. With some challenging terrain these races offer wonderful hill training for us Yorkies. The £3 race entry fee (paid on the day) includes an after race buffet and a chance to get to socialise with team mates and the opposition. You can register on line before running or you can register at the race. We also meet to share lifts

Individual race and all vets competition details for 2012 will be displayed on the Knavesmire website or alternatively at www.yvaa.org

Hope to see you soon but if you need any further details you can contact
