Bob Smith Handicap
The cool, sunny and above all dry weather was ideal for this years' Bob Smith Handicap. Although the boggy state of the lower part of the course was not so good.
Around 50 runners, juniors and seniors took part in the race. 25 seniors, 12 Under 14s and 8 Under 11s finished their respective courses. Stephen Firth won the senior race in 37.44(27:54) closely followed by Alan Wright in 37.47(22:42). Paul Mitchel was the fastest, finishing 15th in 21:49 with a handicap of 19.20. Catherine Holden was 3rd in 37.55(27.55) The Under 14 race was won by James Fady in 16:15(15:45) James Hall came in second in 16:47, with the fastest time of 12:12. Owen Whelan was third in 16.54(16:54). Luca Zenti won the Under 11 race in 11.13, followed by Katy Boden in 11:26. Charlie Handby was third in 12:40. Bob Dover made the presentations in the St Ives tearooms over tea and cakes etc. This was followed by the usual quibbles over handicaps and route finding among the seniors.

Bingley Championship Anniversary Waltz 20th April 2008
Bingley Juniors were thin on the ground but still fleet of foot at the first of the English Championship races which started in the fields of a sunny but windy Newlands Valley once the Senior Anniversary Waltz was under way. Daniel Netherwood ran well in the U8’s dash round the field to finish in tenth place. James Hall and Joshua Netherwood (just turned 10) found the steep rough climb on the side of Cat Bells hard work but dug in to finish fifth and forty ninth in the U12’s. The joint U16/U18 race was a class affair with the cream of junior fell running and a double climb. Ben Marriott ran well to finish fourteenth in his first year in this age group. Full results at the Anniversary Waltz website. Latest positionsSportshall Athletic Trials 2008
