Nicola’s (s)potty Chase idea - not arf!

Nicola Wilde’s outrageous idea to flood the Chevin Chase in a running recreation of 101 Dalmations came to fruition on Boxing Day as dozens of black-spotted, white-suited runners (and spectators) took to the Chevin in the annual and popular multi terrain race.

While members of Horsforth Harriers were disguised as spotty dogs for the day, runners from many other clubs, including a small group from as far afield as Morpeth Harriers, also joined in the fun. Big thanks to Rothwell Harriers, Kirkstall Harriers, Pudsey Pacers, and Valley Striders to name but a few, who all had runners dressed as dalmations.

Even the ladies race winner Jo Smith of Calder Valley Fell Runners was pictured in the local press with a black and white spotted face! Thanks also to Aire Centre Pacers for allowing us to flood their race with identi- cally clad runners (scorers nightmare!) and to runners and spectators alike for their generosity enabling Nicola to donate over £500 to breast cancer charities. (Aire Centre Pacers made a contribution to the Tsunami Relief charities as their charitable effort from the race). Dawn Gray made a splendid ‘Cruella De Vil’ and was only almost upstaged by the men’s third place finisher‘Chris McTree’! Captains Columns

Lucy Crowther missed out in the draw but will still be pounding the streets of London on April 17th with her sister, but has the added burden of raising a shedload of cash for her charity place.

Lucy is running for a Deaf Children’s charity, so please dig deep, if you haven’t done so already, (Horsforth Harriers are a generous lot, if other fund raising efforts have been any yardstick) to help Lucy raise the cash as well as doing all the hard miles training to get the start in some sort of shape.

New Years Day, 2005, finds me once again up in Morpeth to see in the New Year and have a second bash at the rarely run 11K distance.

This race replaces - albeit on a much smaller scale - the traditonal New Years Day run from Morpeth to Newcastle, which in it’s original form was just over fourteen miles. Sadly, despite moving the event date to mid January and shortening the course to a half marathon, it looks as though the original race, one of, if not the, oldest road races in the country will bite the dust due to policing and other costs, and the fact that the route is compelled to take main roads to Newcastle, now no longer quiet due to the holidays.

As December flew past, there were lots of ‘Christmas themed’ races, among them the Christmas Cracker 10K at Scarborough where Steve Blades 45:05, Paul Hustwit 47:26, and Tina Dickinson 50:06 took the opportunity to get into the Christmas Spirit early (and pos- subly avoid the Christmas shopping throngs).

On the same day we had a team, for the first time (ever, or in a while?) in the decidedly non-festive Calderdale Relay, finishing 41st team overall, not bad considering we were up against the more traditional fell running ‘mudlark’ clubs.
