Races
Yorkshire Veteran Athletes Association cross country and road races for over-35s.
For those new, or not so new, runners looking to dip their toes into the world of ‘competitive’ racing, the Yorkshire Vets Grand Prix is the ideal opportunity for a gentle introduction. It also gives you the satisfaction of representing your club and the chance to wear your Horsforth Harriers running vest with pride!
The league is an inter-club, team competition between all the best running clubs in the area. All the races are fairly local and hosted by regional running clubs.
The best thing about these events is the camaraderie and team spirit before, during and after the races. You will be made very welcome, whatever your speed, because everyone from first to last scores points for the team. So it really is “the more the merrier” and results have been known to be decided by a few points, because a team had maybe one extra runner. This is one of the reasons we are always seeking more team members!
*Please note:
If you are 33 or 34 you can run as a non-scorer, not eligible for prizes. If you are under age 33 you are no longer able to run in a Vets Grand Prix race.
