Here is an update with some important information for Sunday.

Please note this race is NOT marshaled in the same way as a traditional race hence importance of reccies.

Presentations will be held after the race at 6pm approx, at The Podger pub opposite the sports centre on Ninelands Lane with food available from 4:30pm.

Leg 3 handover at Scotchman Lane - this is a hotspot in terms of complaints from local residents with complaints ranging from climbing over property boundaries to runners urinating in people's gardens. PLEASE COULD ALL RUNNERS ATTENDING THE CHANGEOVER POINT PLEASE MAKE SURE LOCAL RESIDENTS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CAUSE TO COMPLAIN. (The future of his race can depend on things like this).

Leg 6 handover at Thorner Lane - again this historically has been a hotspot with local residents complaining about people parking at the changeover point which is private land. This situation has been alleviated by a local farmer providing one of his fields as a car park. Please ensure the car park is used and don't park anywhere else in the general handover area. Parking info and a map will be provided on the LCW website. (Kippax Harriers)

Car Parking

---

Start /Finish - Garforth Sports and Leisure Centre. Ample parking available.

Leg 1 to Leg 2 handover - Adequate parking is available in the surrounding streets of the playing fields where the handover takes place. Please do not park on the main road (A642).

Leg 2 to Leg 3 handover -Some parking on Scotchman Lane - please do not cause congestion on Scotchman La. Also see previous note about complaints from local residents.

Leg 3 to Leg 4 handover - Side streets off Woodhall Rd - Do not park on A647 (police will prosecute)

Leg 4 to Leg 5 handover - Large car park at Golden Acre Park but bear in mind you will be competing with other users of park so leave plenty of time. There is a less popular car park at the top end of the park. Those who did the Golden Acre relays will probably be familiar with this.

Leg 5 to Leg 6 handover - Car Park provided by local farmer field is about 100 meters from changover point. Ample room for parking Please ensure this is the only place you park on this leg.

Rules

---

All team members must wear their running numbers (Team A is 18, Team B is 19). I will register the teams and collect the batons before the start of the race.

Club colours must be worn by UKA registered teams.

Race starts at 8am prompt.

Anyone found deviating from the route will be time penalized.

Should any team retire they must inform a marshall.

No runner will be allowed to run more than one leg.

Teams must finish the individual legs with both runners, failure to do so may lead to disqualification. There is a 3 hour time penalty for any leg where only 1 runner finishes.

Please follow country code at all times.

Please show consideration to residents and private property particularly when taking toilet breaks.

Timings.

---

The following can only be regarded as an indication and there is no guarantee when runners will arrive at the handover. Please err on the cautious side so that you are ready for any handover, ensure you allow sufficient time for the logistics of leaving vehicles at each end of your leg etc.

Last year's arrivals for our teams were as follows: - NB: Last year we had 4 teams and our vets team proved to be the strongest with some of our best runners running for them Our A team results went awry at Leg 5 when one of our runners became ill. Please factor these considerations in and err on the cautious side. I recommend adopting an assumption that our runners will be faster than they actually are to ensure being there in good time. There is nothing worse than running your socks off only to find the pair you are handing over to are either not in place or not ready.

Don't put yourself under that pressure. It won't make for good running.

Final words

I hope to give out the rest of the numbers tonight. If anyone has any problem please let me know asap. Please work together and help each other throughout. If one runner feels stronger then he/she can sort the gates etc. Always run together.
I hope you will all enjoy the event and that the weather is kind to us. Any support anywhere along the route I am sure will be greatly appreciated. Stay fit and good running everybody.

Hi all, I've been pressganged into running Leg 3 for Baildon.
Look forward to seeing some of you leg 2,3,4 guys and gals

You may notice that Leg 3 nettles, thistles, brambles etc are
much reduced. Feel free to thank me. Should lead to some
record times ?!?
Good luck whatever leg you are on - enjoy.
