Best Times

Simply The Best

This section includes lists of the best times that we have records of, in the form of a Top 20 for men and a Top 10 for women, for each of the four major distances.

Times have been included only if they were achieved as a Goole Viking Strider -- for instance Chris Smale would blow us all out of the water with his 10k times as a Longwood Harrier, but he didn't do any while he was with us, so sorry Chris, you're not in the 10k list.

The lists may well not be complete in that we have only included the times currently available. We hope there won't be too many omissions, and will update them with pleasure as and when any other race times come to light. So if you're in the Top 20 or Top 10 now, you might not stay there!
