Bingley Show Trail Race 2008
Bingley Show day started off with heavy rain showers and cars and horse boxes bogged down on course. However by the start of the race the sun shone and the marshals had cleared the route with the aid of a tractor.
This year the race was run in reverse for the first time. Tim Midgely came in first setting a "new course record" of 16:14. A great time, especially when divots, wheel ruts and good old mud are taken into account. The front runners also took the show organisers by surprise, so beagles were added to enliven the finish in the show ring. Becky Weight was the first lady in 21:01, hotly pursued by a pack of male Harriers. Another triumph for Becky, in her LV50 year. Bingley took both team prizes with: Tim, Robin Lawrence and Stuart Thompson Becky, Jenny Vessey and Lisa Spencer For the record 59 runners finished and 14 Harriers took part.

Stephen and Lisa have maintained their positions at the top of the table after the Bingley Show race. Becky Weight has moved into third place ahead of Jenny Vessey.
It’s still all to play for with three races to go, neither Stephen nor Lisa can afford to miss a race. No doubt there will be pressure on the handicapper for the next counter, the Autumn Handicap on Saturday 20th October. Latest Standings Here Winter Training and Latest on Beckfoot Developments
