← Bloodaxe Challenge

Another good local event from the SeeYorkRunYork guys.

Mutiple 1k laps of the Uni cycle track. As many as you can do in 2 hours. So not a unique or pretty location but good for the purpose.

Had to collect race number on the day, which led to quite big queues with people turning up late. But the organisers got the queue down quickly, unfortunately this led to a delay in the start. 

The weather was appalling but the marshalls were lovely and supportive, and did a sterling job giving out juice in the rain! You could take your own water bottle to put on a table by the side which was a great idea. I forgot my bottle tho! 

Easy to get to from the station by Bus (66 uni bus and only £2 return, bargain) 

Great medal and I had a lovely bit of brownie after I finished. Great cakes. 

A fab race that was inclusive of all abilities, and you could do as many or few laps as you wanted. I did 10 as the weather was horrid, but would probably have done more if it was a nicer day. 

Great local event and I’d recommend to anyone to give it a go next year.
