—Endure 24.
Thanks to Alan Wilkinson for the report.

Three Harriers took on the challenge of running Endure24 solo at the weekend. Starting at 12 noon on Saturday, participants have 24 hours to run as many 8 km (5 mi) undulating laps of the gorgeous trail around Bramham Park as they can (or want!). Many people would choose to share this task with a team, which is very much an option, but Kevin Blount, Viv Fraser and Ellie Wilkinson instead took it on as individuals. Each had a very different approach which resulted in remarkably similar outcomes.

Kevin had a target of 75 miles (15 laps) and set about this by tackling 50 miles on the Saturday, taking some rest and completing the rest on Sunday morning. The 50 miles were complete by about 11pm on Saturday but some doubt had set in about the ability to manage 5 more laps on the Sunday morning. After a couple of hours’ sleep he stoically returned to the course before 5am and after an initial gentle lap to ease the stiffness, pulled off the 4 further required laps and achieved his target just after 11am!
Viv took a much more continuous approach and was out on the course for very nearly the full 24 hours, with the occasional break for sustenance but otherwise without any significant rests. Her laps were impressively consistent around the hour mark early on, continuing steadily throughout the day and night and it’s fair to say that in the early hours of the morning Viv was among the cheeriest of the solo runners! Finishing at about 11:30 on Sunday morning, she achieved a mightily impressive 16 laps for 80 miles, placing 15th out of 182 in the women’s solo competition.
Ellie also had a consistent start, with the first five laps coming in well under an hour each. As the evening progressed, she gradually climbed the leaderboard and was the first female soloist to reach 60 miles, doing so just before midnight. She held pole position until 4am, continued to knock out laps at an impressive rate and eventually decided that 85 miles was a decent enough return and declared shortly after 6am. Despite using just three quarters of the time available, Ellie retained 6th position in the women’s solo competition.
 
Despite the brutal heat and relentless sunshine, with temperatures only really subsiding after the sun set around 9pm, all three achieved personal best distances! Incredible achievements – congratulations to all!
 

Endure24 is a really great event with lots going on and a party atmosphere. Should our club enter a team (or teams) next year? I think so – watch this space!

Report by Mark Swinden

A warm night at Bugthorpe on the Wolds saw another victory for men’s leader Jordan Howe who is
now one race away from retaining his title.
A win for Rose Mather of host club Knavesmire brought her into title contention ahead of the final
race at Wistow , but Emily Baines also of Knavesmire who came in second and club mate Josie Rawes
who won last time out on the York Racecourse route are both still in the title race and any of the
three of them could take the title depending on results at the final race.
Howe finished in a time of 33.34 on a tough course closely fo.llowed in by the Tadcaster pair of James
Eaton (33.50)4 and Shane Grace (35.20). Tadcaster finished 6 men in the top 12 taking the team
contest to the final race at Wistow where the title race is a head-to-head between them and the
Knavesmire club.
The top six was completed by Dom Carter of York Postal (35.58), Keiron Brown of York Acorn (36.02)
and Joe Slater of Tadcaster (36.09).

Rose Mather was a clear winner in the Ladies’ contest in 37.43 and Emily Baines (39.01) and Hazel
Hall (41.51) completed a Knavesmire trio at the head of the field. The top six was completed by Ruth
McGivern of Tadcaster (41.59) Kelly Gaugan of Pickering (42.26) and Katie Wise of Pocklington.
Knavesmire won the team race for the fifth race in succession confirming their dominance but Wise
helped Pocklington into joint second place in the overall standings with York Postal setting up an
intriguing contest in the final race.
James Eaton recorded his third consecutive win to take the vet men 40 category win followed by
Shane Grace and Chris Poulton of York Acorn (36.46) who remains in contention for the title
The top 3 in the men’s vet 50 were led in by confirmed winner Knavesmire’s Dave Smithers (36.17)
and the runners who will be overall second and third Stephen Maddison (37.38) and Richard Ginn
(38.39) both representing Pocklington.
Stephan Tomaszewski recorded his fifth straight win in the vet men 60 group in 41.29 ahead of David
Lancaster (42.56) of City of York AC and Tadcaster’s Mike Jackson (43.52)

The top three in the vet 70 men’s Category finished in quick succession with this year’s winner Mike
Hetherton (53.31) of Pickering just out-pacing Tadcaster pair Mark Thompson (53.37) and Will Allan
(53.47).

This years’ vet ladies 35 winner Katie Wise led this category home in 42.38 followed by Chrissie
Dover of City of York AC (43.14) and Selby Striders’ Emma Winter (43,35).
Another dominant run by Hazel Hall of Knavesmire in the women’s vet 45 category saw her record
her fifth consecutive win followed Pocklington’s Fiona Randles (45.34) and Knavesmire’s Bethany
Benger (45.50).
Jo Derry of Tadcaster (48.29) was first home in the women’s vet 55 group clear of Knavesmire’s
Anita Ruddock (50.09) closely followed by Susan Farr of Selby in 50.21
Finally, the women’s vet 65 category saw a fifth straight win for Kathryn Dickinson of Knavesmire
followed by Tadcaster’s Sally Polkey (52.26) and Sue Adams (1.19.32) placing third for Knavesmire.
