Ok, so for all you adventure racers out there you've got the World
Championships hitting our shores in little over a weeks time, and for the
fell enthusiasts the World Long Distance Mountain Running championships are
being incorporated in to the 2008 Three Peaks race. Plenty of our members
have already conquered the marathon and participation in endurance sports is
growing rapidly across GB, so what about the next step, what other
challenges lie on our shores? What about your challenge for '09?
Well, the BBC Sport website has today posted the following information which
represents potentially a huge step forward for endurance sport not just in
GB but  worldwide, and you could be involved!! Dust off your training plans,
get your kit washed and ironed (clean kit, what's that!!) and get motivated.
Great Britain is to stage the first Commonwealth ultra-distance and mountain
running championships in 2009.
The event is the first step towards the sport's push to be included on the
athletics programme at the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships.
The four-event competition in Keswick will comprise a 100km road race, a
24-hour race and two mountain races.
"This is a big step towards being recognised at worldwide championships,"
Great Britain coach Norman Wilson said.
"The good news is Britain has a lot of talented athletes coming through."
The championships will be open to men and women from all 71 Commonwealth
nations.
If the event is a success it is hoped the sport will be included at the 2014
Commonwealth Games.


Happy training

Dave

All,

For anyone fancying something a little bit different, certainly interesting
but not too competitive this Wednesday (I know it's a club night!),
Wharfedale Harriers are putting on an event starting from Addingham. Not
sure of distance etc but all available information is listed below.

Cheers

Dave

Wharfedale Harriers Owl Event
Wed. Night 7.15pm Feb 21st 2007
Addingham near Ilkley
Open to anyone daft enough !
Runners or cyclists
Starting from the Crown pub, it's to the trig point of Beamsley Beacon and
back to the Crown by any route you choose to take. Bearing in mind it's
going to be dark, you will need some sort of illumination !
There will be no flags or way markers, just a marshal at the trig point.
This is to be a fun event, but has the obvious dangers of a night event, ie
darkness
There are no prizes, only the honour of a good position, as it's only fun.
A small contribution of £2.00 will go towards administration Costs.
Registration at village hall car park

Subject: [fellandale] Spring Polaris

Hi all,

Just a quick bit of info about the Spring Polaris for anyone who fancies
something different on the weekend of March 24th/25th. The event is based on
the mountain marathon format of competing over 2 days, but takes place on
mountain bikes instead of the usual bog trudge on foot.

The race start is anytime up to 10am on Saturday morning, and the first day
is a 7 hour score format, and the Sunday is a 5 hour score format. You'll
need to carry everything you need for the weekend including tent, cooking
equipment, food and survival gear, and you can do it solo or in a pair. The
exact venue for March's event hasn't been announced yet but it's broadly in
the Scottish Borders, and definitely not Galloway or Kielder according to
the website.

You can enter the race almost up until the event itself, but if you want to
guarantee yourself a laminated map for the event you'll need to enter in the
next week or two. Paper copies can be obtained but if you fancy fiddling
about in Scottish weather with cold hands and a wet paper map you're made of
sterner stuff than me!!

Riding is usually over a decent variety of terrain and this event is
promising some fun, technical riding off the beaten track. It's the perfect
warm down for anyone doing Edale Skyline the week before, and a good
loosener for anyone aiming for the Northern Road Relays the week after so
don't delay, get your entry in for a cracking weekend.

Oh, did I mention that the midway camp has beer for sale and a bonfire, what
more can you ask for?

Entry and more info online at polarischallenge.com

Cheers

Dave

This is by way of a test message. How do we send messages
