RACE HOSTED BY YORK
KNAVESMIRE HARRIERS, WEDNESDAY 30TH JULY 7.30PM Race On behalf of the Yorkshire Veterans Athletics Association, York Knavesmire Harriers are hosting the 8th Monthly Grand Prix race of 2008. All members aged 35 and over are asked to support their club by competing in the race. Everyone who finishes the race earns points for the club. If we have a good turnout we have a chance of winning team prizes for the series. It promises to be a really good night so do please turn up and give it a go. The races are suitable both for beginners and experienced runners alike. There will be a number of familiar faces helping out and offering lots of support and encouragement. Details The race starts at 7.30pm at the beginning of the cycle path behind the Knavesmire. Entry is £2.00 on the day and you will need to attend HQ (Hamilton Panthers Clubhouse on the little Knavesmire), preferably no later than 7.00pm to pay and register. If you haven't entered a Vets race yet this year you will need to fill in a short form and be allocated a number. To save filling in a form on the night you can enter your details online at any time before the race by going to www.yvaa.org, clicking on the link for the 2008 Grand Prix and following the instructions. You can access the results for the race last year from the same page. A room at The Knavesmire pub has been booked for post race presentations, spot prizes and a raffle. All York Knavesmire Harriers are asked to contribute a plate of food. Please deliver your plate of food to the Knavesmire pub before the race if possible. The Course The course follows the cycle path past Bishopthorpe and over Acaster Lane. (If you have gone over the river thn you have gone too far) Immediately over Acaster Lane take the steps on your left down off the cycle path and turn immediately right towards the river.

Turning left, follow the river again towards York (along the Pennine Trail) over a couple of styles until you come to the finish which is in the field off Bishopthorpe Road opposite Terrys. The length of the course is approx 5.7 miles. There will be marshals along the route on the night.
