The leg records for the Leeds Country Way and Calderdale Way relay events have been reset after the year 2000. The lengths of some of the legs have changed quite dramatically over the years and the times achieved in the past would never be beaten.

The old records (pre 2001) can be seen here.

Airedale off road winter challenge and summer fell league roll of honour.

Dave Turpin Trophy. An award for exceptional service to the club.

Other notable achievements not listed elsewhere are included here. Examples include Baildon members running for Airedale Athletics or perhaps in a team relay event where a partner is not a Baildon Runner.

Runner of the Month

As from July 2009 we have introduced a new award, Runner of the Month. If you know of a member who has achieved something special during the previous month, e.g. completed their first half marathon, set a PB etc then let us know. The nominations will be announced and the committee will reach a decision. The prize, a bottle of wine, will be presented one Thursday evening after the run later in the month.
