1st June 2025 saw the return of Bradford 10k after missing a year. QRC had the 2nd most club entrants in the whole race at 22 officially (definitely more because I wasn’t even counted!), maybe because it is a great flat course or it’s part of the club championship. So being part of the race […]

The 10k route also took in the picturesque Keighley Golf Club. A special mention to […]
