Spring has truly sprung, bringing us lighter evenings, blossoming trails, and even a few gloriously warm, sunny days.

Perfect running weather – although maybe not for our Marathon runners!

We’ve had a fantastic few weeks filled with exciting races, off-road trails, creative routes, and some seriously impressive training efforts.

🐰 Easter Celebrations & Guiseley Gallop

We had several Dragons take part in the Guiseley Gallop on very sunny Easter Sunday and a mysterious Easter Bunny who made sure club members had some well-earned post-run treats. Running and chocolate—arguably the best combination!

🎨 Strava Art Bunny Run!

We also have to mention a fantastic Strava art created by Iain, one of our brilliant members! A perfectly planned Easter Bunny route, although we are pretty sure Yeadon residents thought we were probably just lost… little did they know! 

🏃‍♀️Dedicated Training

From those getting back to fitness after injuries, and those powering through weekly 4 miles / 4 hills to our Dragons tackling full and half marathon training, we’ve seen some incredible dedication this month. Well done to you all for your determination! 

🏅 Marathon Fever 

A huge round of applause to those who have now completed the Manchester and London Marathons! An incredible achievement—especially on a very warm day. Every mile was hard-earned, and we couldn’t be prouder of you. 

All our Dragons were running at least their 2nd marathon which is just incredible- a special mention to our amazing fairy Jane who completed her 10th London marathon, and to Ken who won the ballot for our England Athletics club place for London!

🔥 What’s Next?

With summer just around the corner, there’s plenty more running fun ahead with lots of races to look forward to including Leeds full and half marathon, HDSRL, and Yorkshire Vets to name a few. We’re looking forward to celebrating with you along the way!
