Thinking of trying something different in 2010? The Quakers are hoping to enter teams in both the Cleveland Way Relay and the Thunder Run Trail 24 hour race.

The Cleveland Way Relay (From Darren Park):

I’m just starting to look at organising this year’s Cleveland Way Relay Team (which takes place in June). I know it’s early to start thinking about it, but it gives people a chance to reccy their part of the relay. The event organisers website, www.nym.ac, contains information about the event including the course and the relay sections. If you need to know anything else just e-mail me or talk to anyone who took part in last year’s event. Speaking on behalf of everyone who did last year’s event; it was a great day and I’m sure all who took part will want to do so again this year.

Although we only put one team in last year (and came second from last) it’s not about winning – it’s all about taking part; enjoying the day; finishing in one piece; and getting the Quakers out there working as a team! This year I would like to put two or three teams together, which I'm sure we can - the Quakers have 200 club members! It doesn't matter if you’re a beginner or an elite runner, any one can take part.
In brief, the relay starts at Filey and finishes at Helmsley approx 109 miles with 16 sections and 16 runners per team and the most important fish and chips at the finish.

If anyone is interested could you e-mail me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or contact me on 07966572425. At this moment in time, I just want to get approximate figures to see how many people are interested. I will have a meeting at the Model T pub in March and can go through maps,routes,transport and any other business.

I believe the Cleveland Way Relay event will be on Sunday 27th June and will confirm asap.
Once again, this is open to everyone of all abilities - just come along and have a great day out and enjoy yourself, if you’re a road runner get off the road and try a bit off roading!

Finally, the relay is well marked out in most places and if you get lost – it just adds more fun to it all.

With many thanks
Darren
