Just when you were expecting it to be grey, raining and grim...out comes the sun and what could have been a good day turns into a great day. It was muddy, of course, but that's all part of the fun... and there were photographers out in force, including Howard Cross and Clive Jeffery. So thanks to them for the fab pics at the start and at the Givendale section.

Race 4 Life - York, Sunday 6 July
A massive well done to a group of ladies from Pock Runners who endured monsoon conditions on York's Knavesmire Racecourse on Sunday 6 July to run in the Race For Life.

It's come round to that time of year when you're fed up and don't know what to do with yourself....Christmas and the New Year celebrations are over and all you have to look forward to is trying to squeeze yourself into your work clothes......which are probably way too small now because of all the eating and drinking you've done. If that's you and you don't know what the answer is? Don't panic! We do!
It's simple.....just get your running shoes on and shed those few extra pounds by going round to the Rugby Club on Burnby Lane at about 6.30 on Wednesday nights and get back in shape with some new friends. If you want to find out more, contact us or just turn up....
Want to join Pock Runners?
