—DONCASTER 5K, WEDNESDAY 13TH JULY
Kathryn and David Dickinson ran in the “competitive Vets” 5k event – which was followed by an even more competitive Open 5k race! Both were well organised by Doncaster AC and comprised three laps around the town centre. We would recommend it to others looking for a pretty fast time. (As long as you pace yourself better than Kathryn who paid the price for the fast start!).
However, very sadly, this was actually the last running of the event after 24 years, apparently due to a big hike in marshalling/road closure charges levied by the local council. We were told that Askern District Running Club have also experienced similar pressure with their 10k event and possibly the Askern 10 mile as well. This is not good.
Anyway, for the record, David got round in 22:45 and Kathryn in 23:06. (3rd female O60 – the first female O60 ran 19:51!). The first male in the Open race ran 14:48 and the first female finished in 16:17.
Final point: why are female Vets still classed as O35 when male Vets are O40? Surely by now it should be O40 for all?
—Viking Chase Fell Race – Lets Run North Yorkshire Moors Summer Series.
A fresh breeze and some cloud cover kept the incoming heatwave at bay. Allowing for a very enjoyable 8 mile fell racing blast, from Lordstones Cafe up to the old Glider Club then along the Cleveland Way, taking in three more good hills towards Clay Bank, before a more gentle charge back along the lower forest path.

The next race in the series is Cock Howe and Beyond Wednesday 20th July 7:15pm, organised and marshalled by our good selves.
It’s at Chop Gate which is quite easy to get to , is 6 miles and not too tricky featuring one big initial climb, a bit of a rumble in the heather and bracken ( you will struggle to see your feet at times ! ), grouse moor tracks and a rollicking return back down the first hill. Getting lost should be quite an achievement.
If you fancy giving it a go you need to carry a waterproof jacket, hat gloves, whistle and compass and copy of the map. Trail shoes advisable.
A bargain at £7.
The furthest reaches of the Cock Howe Race route, could be YOU this Wednesday ( 20th July)
Marshalls are from YKH and the tail runners are Petra Chapman Gibbs and Lou Springer from YKH, they will shoo you along and see you to the finish
