News - MAY 9th.

Series Update
Ripon entries have now closed with over 300 entries, and the weather looks as if it will be fine and warm so good luck to everyone who is running this new course. Please take notice of all instructions both on the Ripon website and from marshalls on the day with regard to car parking.
Weather conditions at Fountains caused a lot of problems with car parkingand this led to late comersparking in some crazy positions, there were no police at Fountains there will be police in Ripon so be careful.

Fountains 10k

Sorry about Sundays weather conditions, but  there were some smiling faces, that course is tough enough without the added mud on the moor section, but congratulations to everyone who finished, lets hope the weather improves for Ripon in two weeks time.

The results from Sunday are now available on the Fountains 10k and Ripon Runners sites ( see links page ).
If you think there is a mistake with your results, please contact the race organizer and not me as I have no responsibility for individual race results.

Burn Valley Entries

2008 Races
I have now started including a description/news of each race on its individual race page, so if you have never run the course before it may help in your race day preparation.

Races
All race entry forms are now available to download from riponrunners.co.uk

Postage
Race organizers are now receiving cards from Royal Mail informing them that there is a mail item to be picked up from their Sorting Offices, we assume these are race entries, and the charge to collect each item of mail is £1.06p. The reason this mail is not delivered is it does not have the correct postage to be delivered. These items will not be picked up and the mail will not be returned to sender, so if it is a race entry you will miss entering the race and possibly jeopardize completing the series.

Burn Valley Run
If there are any non-runners, wives/girlfriends, husband/boyfriends who can help on the day please drop me an e.mail, it will be much appreciated.
