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 […]
Saturday saw Lee, Zoe, Ian and Michelle take on the picturesque Burnsall Trail Half Marathon – Read Lee’s write up below: The race started off with a short run along the riverside before gradually climbing uphill through tracks and fields for a few miles. At the top, we were treated to a picturesque downhill section […]
We had three runners in this years London Marathon and with it came three PB’s! Tom got in to the marathon using the club allocated place and he got round in an impressive time of 2:47:30. Tom paced his run perfectly with half marathon splits of 1:23:43 / 1:23:47 which was bang on his plan! […]

This week we have the man that causes the social media team nightmares tracking his escapades round the North with his racing! He’s a England Master, a holder of more club records than we can list and a legend of the club….. This week we have Steve Brook.
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 […]
There’s a saying about being able to pull off wearing a black bin bag…… well, Nicola did just that as her and Matt took on the Keighley 10k in terrible conditions! Makes the WYWL league look tame in places! Well done guys!

Despite the hills Steve managed an excellent time of 1:01 finishing 3rd in his age category (V75). Wonder where we will […]
