Otley 10 Mile Road Race – Wednesday 11th
June 2008
Otley Athletic Club are delighted to
confirm that this year’s race (the Club’s 25th Anniversary) will
take place on Wednesday 11th June commencing at 7.30pm kindly
sponsored by The Divan Centre,
Leeds (and if you want further advice / quote on anything bed
retail-related then contact OAC’s President Carl Walsh and mention
you’re a runner), Up & Running
and Yorkshire Tea from Betty's.

where there’s also additional background.
This year all
finishers will receive a race-commissioned bottle of beer from Nick
Stafford’s Hambleton
Ales.
Unfortunately, the highly enjoyable Beat The
Clock 5km which was held in conjunction with the Town’s cycle races in 2007
will not be held this year due to a demanding schedule on cycle races’ organisers – however we are hopeful that this race may
be back in 2009.
However, the Washburn Valley
Relay for invited local running clubs has been set for Friday 18th
July in a new 3-stage format (old stage one has been removed) and the Round Hill
Fell Race starting at Timble near Otley has been confirmed for Sunday 27th
July.
