Jennyfields YHOA Sprint Champs, 19July26
Claro welcomes you to the YHOA Sprint Championships in Harrogate. Jennyfields is a mature housing estate with winding avenues, many ginnelways and many areas of grass and trees. The event is centered on Killinghall Moor Countryside Park where the junior courses will be based and be completely off road.
Competitors will have two runs in two different areas, north and south of the busy Jennyfields Dr.. The first run will be for the YHOA Champs but both runs will count for the YHOA Urban League. For the YHOA Champs there will be prizes for the first competitor from a YHOA club in each class. Classes are the usual YHOA urban league classes (https://www.yhoa.org.uk/yorkshire-urban-league/). When entering at Racesignup you can choose a 15min start block (early through to late) and are expected to start in the same block for both runs. The event timing are:
First course starts: 10.30 to 11.45
First course closing: 12.15
Second course starts: 12.15 to 13.30
