YHOA Sprint Championships - Harrogate
Sunday 19th July
Entries are closed!
Claro welcome you to the YHOA Sprint Championships at Jennyfields, Harrogate including a YHOA Urban League Race.
Jennyfields is a mature housing estate with winding avenues, many ginnel ways and many areas of grass and trees. The event is centred on Killinghall Moor Community Park where the junior courses will be based and will be completely off road.
Competitors will have two runs in two different areas, north and south of the busy Jennyfields Drive. The first run will be for the YHOA Championships but both runs added together will count for the YHOA Urban League.
For the YHOA Championships there will be prizes for the first three competitors from a YHOA club in each class. Classes are the usual YHOA urban league classes here.
Pre-entries preferred by Sunday 12 July 2026 to guarantee a map on your chosen course.
Late entries, subject to map availability, at a supplement up to Thurs 18 July 2026.
Entries on the day available subject to map availability.
