Baildon race details - 07/11/21

The new season is almost here and as current Champions, Baildon Runners, are delighted to host the first race on Sunday 7th November.

The race HQ is Baildon Rugby Club, Jenny Lane, Baildon BD17 6RS

With the increase in the number of runners we ask that you please, please please car share. There is limited residential parking near the Rugby club as well as a small car park at the club. Please do not block any driveways.

There is also a small car park at the Golf Club, further residential parking in the area behind and another small car park on the right, past the cattle grid. There are a few public car parks in the village centre, a short walk away. Please see attached map.

The Rugby clubhouse will be open early for number collection from your Club Rep. Please arrive in good time.

The race starts at 10.30am and is the same as 2019 on the beautiful Baildon Moor, near Baildon Golf Club which is a 5-minute jog from our Rugby Club HQ. Trail shoes will be fine unless we get a lot of rain before the race where a better grip would be advantageous.

The start will again run up the side of the 18th golf fairway, and although the Golf Club are also aware of this, we anticipate golfers will not have reached the 18th by 10.30am.

They will however be using the nearby 1st tee and we ask that you respect our good friends at the Golf Club doing their chosen sport and keep away from that area.

There are limited changing facilities (usually for 30 rugby players!) with post-race drinks in the Rugby clubhouse. Please remove/change your muddy running shoes. There will also be a raffle (we welcome any donations) and the race results announcements.

A catering van and a coffee van will also be on site .

Good luck to you all and we hope you will again enjoy the Baildon hospitality and our iconic moorland course.
