A huge thank you to everyone that took part in the series this year, it has been a tough year with numbers way down on previous years, volunteers being down and my spare time down too.
However we had 4 great races again and lots of happy but tired faces crossed my finish lines. Thank you to Jacek from Timemyrace.co.uk/huddersfield-road-series for doing our timing again this year, chip timing makes my race day so much more enjoyable not having to worry about that. Thank you to my sponsors Gibson Booth, Shepley Spring and ORAGYMS Shepley! Without you we couldn’t raise money for our local sports clubs and schools.
Thank you to everyone that has helped at any of the races, big shout to Jonny Brook for being a huge help at the Colne Valley 10k.
Then of course the biggest round of applause goes to you my runners, I have loved seeing all my regulars again this year and loads of new faces too. We had 2 new winners of the series this year with Jenny Hart taking the female series win and Martin Ingham taking the male 🥇. I hope you enjoy your prizes.
Finally I must say thanks again to you all and as I told some of you at the Shepley 10k, I am taking a year out from my races to give myself a rest from all stress, you just have to have a break some times. I will be back in 2025 with the series and hopefully we can be back with a bang and lots of fresh runners, volunteers, sponsors and a fantastic series medal.
