City of York AC – York Evening Series – 4th July 2024

by Brad Wight

Myself and Alex Hird traveled down for the third meet of the series. We’d attended the first event and really liked the atmosphere. This time we weren’t the only representatives of the North East. Darlington Harriers had a few athletes out and a lad from Jarrow and Hebburn won the elite high jump. Hirdy and I both went in the same heat of the mile, Alex took the win in a cracking time of 4:44.44 and I battled through the strong wind for a PB of 5:22.38.

York is a fast track with good facilities, they have pacemakers in some events and it’s worth the drive down. Hopefully they’ll put this series on again next season and we can get a few more seats in the cars filled!
