Once again York City Council have kindly given permission for the holding of this unique City Centre Race. Courses will take place in the Snickleways and Rowntree park. Please enter in advance and then turn up and get your start time on the day.
We apologise that a problem with one of the control blocks has adversely affected the reporting of split times.
This means that all the reported cumulative split times are meaningless. It also means that the splits for the first two controls and the finish are
erroneous - so I'm afraid you won't be able to see how fast you sprinted into the finish! All the other split times are correct, along with the overall times.
It is hard to believe that this was the sixth time ! Once again, Steve had produced an interesting set of courses, with the change of scene for the A & B courses in Rowntrees Park. Because the park was fast, a number of you didn’t check control numbers and went to punch the wrong control!
Also, the topic of discussion afterwards, concerning control 111 S. alley (below high wall), illustrated the importance of reading control descriptions!
However, the overall reaction was that people had enjoyed their run. It was just a shame that the rain came when it did.
I had an easy day thanks to the careful planning by Steve and organising by Ann with her excellent team of helpers.
Next year I’m running!!
Mike Ridealgh.
