West Yorkshire Winter League 2024/2025 Event No.6 Stainland Lions
Date: Sunday 23rd February 2025
Start Time: 10:00am

Race Venue/HQ:

Heath RUFC, North Dean, Stainland Road, Greetland, HALIFAX HX4 8LS.  The race start is across the road in the lower grounds of Clay House, below the football pitch.

Car Parking:

Car parking is always a problem and to make matters worse there are some major roadworks in progress on Stainland Road just outside the clubhouse entrance. Please car-share wherever possible and look out for our parking marshals who will direct you to the best spot. Allow extra time as there are temporary traffic lights in use on Stainland Road.

Facilities:

Plenty of permanent toilet facilities at the rugby clubhouse. The clubhouse kitchen will be open for warm drinks before the race. After the race there will be warm food, hot drinks, cake stall and the bar will be open. As usual there will be a big raffle but bring change if possible for tickets as the card machine will be busy! All proceeds from the cakes stall and raffle are being donated to Overgate Hospice, so be generous.

Please bring a change of socks and shoes as no muddy shoes are allowed in the Clubhouse.

Course:

The 5 mile course is hilly, technical and muddy in places with a single stream crossing. Don’t worry, there is some downhill, followed by even more climbing! We’ve had to alter the course this year due to storm damage and flood defence work, but I’m sure nobody will be disappointed. Fell or trail shoes are a must.

There is a cut-off at the 2-mile point which is a generous 35 minutes. If any runners fail to meet the cut off they will be directed down the track to the church and will pick-up the return leg of the route back to the finish. Please do not cross the finish line as this will affect the results. Instead, inform the race official that you’re declared a DNF.

Usual hazards, tree routes, stones, uneven surfaces.
