FATHERS Day may not be the optimum day, in the eyes of some families, to hold a running event, but nevertheless, 18 teams of at least 16 runners, including fathers and grandfathers, mothers and grandmothers, sons and daughters, entered the Cleveland Way Relay from Filey to Helmsley, about 110 miles, on June 20. Rain had been forecast for days, but in the event, it was only wet for the very early departure from Thirsk to be at Filey for a 5am start, and the rest of the day was good for running. There are 16 legs varying in length from just over eight miles down to about 3.5 miles. Each team must have at least one woman, and an all female team is allowed one man. The changeover places are specified but runners can choose their own route, with a few exceptions.
