Brief Report
The third running of the Bradford Millennium Way relay was held on
Sunday 13th July 2004 in warm sunny conditions.
25 teams had entered and set off.
On the first leg Abbey Men in Alex Grant and Jonathan Healey set a new record
in 1-17-46 and were closely followed
by the Valley Striders mixed team of Lisa Wilyman and Steve Webb.
Wakefield vets were the first vets team in 7th place and Ilkley led the ladies
race in 11th position overall.
On the second leg Pudsey Pacers Neil Armitage and Gary Bailey set a new record
in 1-08-55.
In the overall lead though were Wakefield Veterans team followed by their
men's team. Unfortunately neither of these two teams third leg runners
were ready when they arrived. There were two rumours at the finish. Either
they were warming up before running or they were sat in the shade of a tree
cooling down. Your guess is as good as mine. Valley Striders mixed team was
still in contention in third place overall and Ilkley Ladies maintained their
lead.
One other minor incident at this leg. One of the teams running the third leg
hadn't appeared by the time the runners went on the cut off and left some 33
minutes late.
On the third leg the Keighley and Craven pairing of Ben Green and Paul
Crabtree set the fastest time pulling their team up to second place but still
4 minutes down
on new race leaders Horsforth Harriers. The other three competitions kept the
same leaders.
At the end of leg three we had some issues with one of the occupants of the
house near the handover point but the rest of the neighbours were quite
helpful.
Leg 4 saw Valley Striders Alan Hutchinson and Andrew Cutts setting the fastest
time but Horsforth maintained a lead of just 2 minutes over a rapidly closing
Keighley team intent on retaining their title. Wakefield vets had moved up
into third place another two minutes down. Valley Striders mixed team were
holding off Pudsey
& Bramley's challenge but Keighley ladies had overtaken their Ilkely
counterparts.
On the fifth and final leg Keighley's Chris Loftus set another record of
1-16-40 to pull ahead of Horsforth and retain their title. Wakefield vets,
Valley Striders
mixed team and Keighley ladies all maintained their positions to take the
remaining prizes.
We again welcomed our friends from Belgium club Avos Atletick Vosselaar as
our international competition as well as our colleagues from over the Pennines
from Blackburn Road Runners.
All in all a very enjoyable day with some very good running
setting new records on a warm day.
If your club hasn't taken part before put the 19th June
2005 in your diaries now and lets make the 4th running even better.
