Yesterday Calder Valley Search & Rescue Team (CVSRT) did a ‘takeover’ at Centre Vale parkrun #18. We provided 13 volunteers to work alongside the Centre Vale core team and make the run happen.

We also served lots of lovely homemade baked goods at the finish. It wasn’t too long before the phrase ‘takeover’ had been replaced by ‘cakeover’!

The aim for CVSRT was to promote our up and coming fundraiser, the Yorkshire Downhill Time Trial 2019 (YDTT) being held on 14th September. An event all about the thrill of downhill running. Each runner gets two timed runs down the 1.5km course, which has 160m of descent.

Thanks to the 134 people who ran, jogged and walked the parkrun course - 45 were first timers and 39 recorded new personal bests (well done!). We had a brilliant time meeting you all and saw some inspiring performances. Hope to see lots of you at the YDTT.
