Wednesday 13th July – Otley Harrogate League Handicap
A successful evening for the final race of this year’s Harrogate and District Summer League. A big thanks to Chris Brunold the race director and everyone who helped out setting up the course during the day. All the marshals on the night and Dominic and Rachel for the post race catering.

Fastest times on the night came from Ben Holmes of Harrogate and Heather Tuff, Thirsk & Sowerby. Ed Hobbs recorded Otley’s fastest time, which was also the second best time.
