George Becton Trophy

History

This is the club's traditional end of season event. Held over two consecutive Thursday evenings in late August/early September it comprises a scratch race followed by a handicaped race based on times from the first race over our 5 K route.

Start of the Scratch Race 2007

Originally it was the only club competion first being run in 1999 In 2003 it was renamed the George Becton Trophy in memory of George Becton, an enthusiastic club member who sadly died in 2003.

The original route started and finished at the New Inn on Long Street and followed an anticlockwise track round North Moor Road and Thirsk Road. The present route using Tanpit Lane and running anticlockwise along Thirsk Road to North Moor Road was considered to be safer and introduced in 2007.

Start of the Scratch Race 26 August 2010
