About the Chase
The annul Grenoside Chase has been resurrected this year,
after a ten year gap. For the benefit of anyone who has not heard of
this old Grenoside event, it started in 1950 by Mr. Walter Platts,
an old Grenoside resident, and was competed for annually till 1992.
Mr Walter Platts passed away but his nephew Gary kept the
family tradition alive, until work commitments unfortunately forced him
to cease being the main organiser.
The event has been revived by a new committee which thankfully
has another member of the Platts family Matthew.
All competitors will receive a Chase Programme, and on
completion of the Chase course will receive a Chase medal. the
presentations will be held outside The Angel public house.
Many thanks to our sponsors for this years race....White Rose
Inns and Supersalon Sweeny 4, also I would like to say thankyou
to all the members of the committee and the stewards for their tireless
work in bringing this event back to life.
Finally a word about the safety protection of both the runners
and the spectators, the main parts of the road will have barriers,
Please be sure to stay on the correct side of these barriers
and observe the stewards instructions.
Good luck to all competitors, and heres hoping everyone will have
an enjoyable evening.
P.K. Hughes
on behalf of all the Chase Committee
The Chase Committee would also like to thank the previous Chase
Organisers for the donation of all monies carried over from the past events.
