This season we will also provide a reserve race venue. We are working towards using Dalby as the reserve race and are working towards the date 28th February 2027. We are not yet able to confirm that date but hope to do so asap. We are waiting for Dalby to agree our preferred date.
The good news is that one of the stiles at Staindale has recently been replaced with a gate. We are expecting the second stile to be replaced and we are hoping to have improvement to the communication methods available at the venue.
If one of the races needs to be cancelled, then the reserve race and date will be used as a replacement. As we are hoping to confirm the booking for the reserve venue and obtain the relevant permissions, a social run will take place from there if it is not needed as a replacement race. Pickering RC will host this reserve race or social run.
This is a closed event for 1st claim members of the following clubs
Your EYXC Season 2026-27 race number will be available for collection from your club rep at the village hall at Bishop Wilton on the morning of Race 1.
