Guy Fawkes 10 Harrogate 2nd November 2003

Richmond and Zetland Harriers had just two runners in the Guy Fawkes 10 on Sunday 2nd. Glynn Harby of Nidd Valley Road Runners, the organising Club, describes the course as “tough, with tortuous hills” - not an understatement given the winning time of 53:06 from Darren Bilton of Leeds City AC, 2 seconds shy of the course record but considerably shy of his PB. Colin Sewell and Paul Scott, the former RAF and the latter Army but both employed at Leeming, were a fair bit behind but both were happy with their performances - Colin completed what he called “an undulating course” in 74:24 for 113th place and Paul was 151st in 74:46.
