9 of QRC’s runners headed to Wharfedale on Saturday morning for a very picturesque, off road half marathon. Running from Wharfedale, out through Grassington and up over Conistone moor, taking in the infamous ‘Mastiles Lane’ (3km @ 8% incline ) before an undulating run back to Wharfedale, it’s a brutal test of the legs! Conditions […]
As the dust settles on another brilliant Calderdale Way Relay, we’d like to thank @Halifax for hosting and organising such an amazing event which is always a highlight in the racing calendar. For those that don’t know, the CWR is, as the name suggests, a relay race made up of 6 pairs of runners, each […]
We had 4 runners out at The Bluebell Trail, hosted by Stainland Lions Running Club. A cracking turnout of over 400 runners, what better way to fill your Bank Holiday Sunday A classic local race, it takes in 10.3 miles of trails with over 1500ft of climbing, including the infamous (awful) Trooper Lane and a […]
On Saturday 27th April, Chris Hillam and Matt Thornton took on the Calderdale Way Ultra 30. Chris intended to use the course as training, alongside his brother, Mark, for longer races they have planned. Unfortunately, Mark was unable to run so Matt seized the opportunity to get out on the trails and run sections of […]
We had 3 members, Joe, Gary and David, challenging themselves and taking on the 69th running of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, dubbed the ‘Marathon with Mountains’. Although not quite the marathon distance, but at 24.2 mile with 5,236 ft of ascent up Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, who are we to argue over 2 mile?! An […]

Joe, Gary, Chris and Carl in action at the 29th running of the Baildon Boundary Way, a multi terrain half marathon. The weather forecast wasn’t looking great, with storms set to bring the rain and 50mph winds, luckily for these 4, that never really happened as the sun came out for the majority of the […]
Rob today took part in this hugely popular annual charity race run by Matlock Athletic Club in conjunction with Peak Rail. It is a race that initially started as a club members only 5k but has now developed into a challenging 7 mile test of speed and stamina in which runners are challenged to beat […]
David battled it out with some of the best around in the FRA English Champs race, using this as his 2nd qualifying race for entry into the Yorkshire 3 Peaks fell race. This is a gem of a race with steep climbs, rough moor and fast paths, typifying all that’s great about South Pennine fell […]
The Heptonstall 15 Fell Race has been a popular race for QRC runners since 2011 when Chris Williams, Peter Hughes and Carl Heron first took on the challenge. It is a tough and technical course with some demanding climbs and a few tricky descents, boggy in places too. It’s a well organised race and it […]
