The Yorkshire Veterans’ Athletics Association (YVAA) promotes running events for veteran athletes in Track & Field, Road, Multi-terrain, Fell and Cross Country.
These events include an annual Grand Prix Series and a programme of Championship races, catering for women and men over 35 who are members of clubs within Yorkshire.
Details of the Grand Prix series can be found here https://www.yvaa.org/
They are often very similar to PECOs but less muddy, with prizes awarded in each individual race, as well as for the overall series.
Championships events are generally normal races – open to all – but trophies are awarded to the 1st 3 affiliated runners in every age category. These events are listed here https://www.yvaa.org/
For CAR to be eligible for a whole main series team prize, we need 4 men and women to attend each race.
We have a great Vet’s team at CAR but we need more people to be involved so we can have consistent representation across the year and show off the range of skills and abilities in our club.
For more information, see the YVAA website or speak to Rob Calver or any committee member.
