There was a 10 mile road race as part of the opening celebrations for the Humber Bridge which was, at that time, the longest single span suspension bridge in the world. I was too young to take part so I ran in the 4.34 mile fun run.
Between 1976 and 1980 I represented my school (The Grange School, Bradford) in quite a few cross country races. I particularly remember the West Yorkshire Schools Championships, West Yorkshire Schools Relays (at Myrtle Park, Bingley) and a couple of races against other schools, one of which was at Priesthorpe School, Pudsey.
