Vet's Races.

 


If you would like a change from road races and are aged 35 or above, why not have a go at multi-terrain, scenic Vets Races? There is a regular contingent of York Knavesmire Harriers attending Vets races who are happy to provide directions and details of lift sharing for these friendly events that take place around Yorkshire.
What are Vets Races?
Vets races are for men and women aged 35 and above. They are organised by the Yorkshire Veterans Athletics Association and details of all fixtures can be found on their website www.yvaa.org or click here
Vets races are divided into the Grand Prix race series and a number of individual Championship races.

Second claim members of York Knavesmire Harriers are welcome to participate as York Knavesmire Harrier runners provided their first claim club is not affiliated to YVAA.

Championship Races
A set of 11 individual races of different distances and terrains including road, cross country and fell. The races must be pre-entered as per the entry form (except fell race) available on www.yvaa.org . There are individual and team prizes at each race.

Grand Prix Events

York Knavesmire Harriers have supported and enjoyed this series of races for a number of years and we are looking forward to another challenging competition in 2012.

A series of 10 races hosted by different running clubs around Yorkshire. Race distance is usually less than 6 miles and is often partly or mainly off road. A number of the courses are hilly which makes for great cross training for those who usually run flatter road races. Free food is available after each race and there are often changing and shower facilities. No need to pre-book. Each race costs £3.00 which is payable on the day. A number is provided to you at your first race which is kept for the remainder of the series.

There are individual prizes within the various age groups at each race. In addition each finisher of each race scores points for the club which go toward team prizes. In 2007 York Knavesmire Harrier Ladies won the All Races to Count team trophy.
