Race day Instructions 2013

Message for Chris …

Another splendid day slipping and sliding through the mud, uphill, downhill and through the woods (not to mention a view of the sewage works!). Many thanks to Emma for galvanising us – a full team of men and women – hooray!! Fancy dress; Jan and Emma very resplendently as Santas (no beards!) and I can say without doubt, running in an Elf Frock is not the easiest thing to do! Well done to all and anyone who is considering a cross country event – go for it – they are good fun!!

We are meeting at 8:30 at the Bay Horse to car share for this event. Dave Lewis from Idle AC has posted the following link which gives some detail:

On Saturday 22nd October, Skipton A.C.’s top veteran runner Neil Pate, competed in the 25th Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon in Sabah, Malaysia. Deemed one the toughest mountain races in the world, the course is 21 kilometres long with 13,000 feet of climbing. There is a harsh time limit to reach the top and then to return to the finish. Competing in the Veteran race, Neil finished a superb 16th and 1st Brit out of 191 starters in a time of 4hrs 32mins. Two thirds of the starters were “Timed Out”.
Neil, a former Bradley resident, is currently living in Shanghai with his family. The globetrotting runner’s next challenge will be on Australia’s Gold Coast over the Christmas period.
