Welcome to the Jack Bloor Races and Fund

logo

Jack Bloor was a pioneering climber and fell runner, former chairman of the Yorkshire BMC, helped establish the classic Three Peaks Race, coached orienteers to World Class level, County Mountain Advisor to the Scouts and has many rock climbing first ascents in Yorkshire and the Lake District. 

Jack Bloor Fund was established to continue his work in helping those who lack the means to pursue their dreams in the outdoors. 

The JB Races were set up to raise money for the JB Fund.

 

Thanks to everyone who came last night, runners and helpers. We had perfect weather for racing and a record number of Juniors!
Congratulations to our two winners, Tom Adams, Ilkley 39.03 and Lucy Crookes, Leeds University, 48.06.
