Been looking on the 'Runners World' forum, & there's links to 2 photo-albums.

Nice pictures. I think I recognised the glamorous 154 wearing a Bingley vest. She used to be a regular runner in the Hyde Park Time Trials (Park Run). Is this an example of where Park Runs can get you?

She's still a regular parkrunner, just at the Bradford one now. She has always been pretty fast, but parkruns have just put the icing on top!

She was smiling all the way down the field, & after finishing too

My first race in the MV80 category. Fantastic route that suited me to a T, well flagged and marshalled - and wonderful weather to boot. Just hope I'm fit enough to run it again next year!

[RichardAThackeray]

Had pre-entered, but extremely, & most definately, peeved that an ongoing knee injury hadn't healed enough to make it worth risking running this event (& going back to 'square 1')

[Runningfox]

Shame you had to miss this highly recommended race. Ah well, there's always next year!

I've been off for a while with my iffy ankles. Decided to do Ilkley Trail as a bit of a tester. Great course (not too severe), organised (well marshalled) and a fun day out. I thought I'd picked up first MV45 but the prize went to an MV50 who had beaten me. No problem with that but I'm interested to know what others think.

May I say a big, if slightly belated thankyou to the Organisers, plus all the Marshalls and Helpers for another excellent race.

It was as good as I remembered from 2011, but I was rather miffed that another injury (& subsequent lack of training/mileage) knocked my time w-a-y back compared to 2011)


Oh well, that's life! - see you all at next years event, or at the 'I M F-R'
