Vale of York 10. report by Phillip Elliott-Dick With a new 10 mile road race on the doorsteps of York, 41 harriers took part in what was described as a flat and fast route, which actually turned out to be a more undulating route, but yet with fully closed roads and a field of 750+, made for a good course and race. First 3 harriers home (Phillip Elliott-Dick, 4th and 2nd M40, David Smithers, 7th and Jason Higgens 12th) meant we took the male team prize. John Oliver took the 1st M60 and … [Read more...]
