hi all, glad people enjoyed it.

Yes Hallcross it's not an easy course to marshall, but we do our best!!

I was with Tutu Much in the road works on the footpath on the ring road in Rodley.

Results should be on our website within the week or so.

Well that was it folks. The Kirkstall Abbey 10k road race. 23 years old and hanging up it's spikes.

The King is dead, long live the King

Scott / Nick,

Can confirm we've received your entries.

Numbers should be with you in time, but if by any chance you don't receive details, just come and see us in kirkstall leisure centre before the race and we'll sort you out with duplicate numbers.

Michael, it's the last one as West Yorkshire police have told us that this is the last year they will support the event in it's current format. They close the road at the start (by Morrisons up to the S bend at the bottom of Leeds and Bradford Rd) but apart from that it's just marshalled, and the amount of traffic and pedestrian interfaces through Rodley and particularly down New Road Side unfortunately in this Risk Assessment driven age, means from 2008 onwards, our annual race will be an off road event, like so many other local club races.

It's understandable from a health and safety point of view i guess. None of us at Kirkstall Harriers would want an accident to a runner. But it's kind of sad nevertheless, especially as the police seem too please to assist with larger profile events.

Still, onwards we shall go.

hi all, on line entry sec here !!

Thanks for making that mistake Dafoot. I'm sure you wont regret it.

Everyone who has entered on line should have received an e-mail from me acknowledging receipt of entry.

I have had a couple of e-mails bounce back, so don't worry if you haven't got an e-mail.

If you want to check, please e-mail me.

Don't worry about numbers, none have been sent to on line entrants yet.

I'll be passing all the details onto the race entry sec on wednesday so you should start to receive numbers soon after then.

It would be great if as many people as possible supported this race this year as we've been told by the police that due to health and safety reasons, that this is probably the last year this event will be held.

We understand that it's not an easy course from a traffic / pedestrian segregation point of view. The police have helped us by closing the junction at the start and the S bend at the bottom of Leeds and Bradford Road, but there are lots of junctions that just rely on marshalls, and ultimately this isn't satisfactory in this day and age.

A shame as the more high profile events not just in Leeds but elsewhere continue to receive police and local authority support, whilst our humble 22 year old event loses out.

Options are already being looked at next year for an off road event, but 2007 looks like the last of the Kirkstall Abbey 10k road race.
