Absolute Beginners Group
Are you considering taking up running? Often the hardest part is knowing how to get started which is why we have set up a group aimed at the complete beginner and those relatively new to running. Find out more and join in!
Winter League.
Our home event run on a brand new course around the trig point was the 3rd in the series of 5 winter league fixtures. Results on the day were impressive. Vets finished in 2nd place with our men and ladies close behind in 3rd. Over the three events to date our ladies team and the Vets both move up a notch to 3rd place. The men are still in the 5th slot but with a similar performance at Idle things could change. 33 Baildon Runners turned out on what was a good dry day if still a little slippy underfoot after the recent heavy rain. Well done in particular to all those who made their Winter League debuts. The next date for your diary is 29 January - a short trip to Idle. Anyone not a club member may run as a guest with a £2 fee payable on the day.

Airedale Athletics Partnership Winter Off-road League
Quentin Lewis stamped his authority on Airedale Athletics fell-racing by winning the Giants Tooth on New Year's Day and coming third in the Chevin Chase on Boxing Day. Well done! Lots of Baildon Runners were out racing over the festive season and the club leads the team competition by a clear margin with Neil Fairburn, John Crabtree and Anna Smith in 3rd 4th and 5th individually.
Look forward to seeing you all out there!

Monday 2nd January 2012
Monday 2nd January saw 17 runners, plus one dog, gather for the first of this year's alternative longer runs, normally held on a Sunday morning. The route was the "off road" Baildon Boundary Way half marathon which was "adapted" in places for a few runners to avoid the muddier sections.
Here are Neil, Jim and Janice ready to go on the steep, slippery and windy Stanbury Splash. Neil is still third individual and Baildon is first club but the competition is beginning to get fiercer. Please look at the coming events to see if one suits you. Photo courtesy of Woodentops.
Sunny times...
