Meet the hero Lancaster student who wrote ‘Fuck York’ with running app

“We’ve already thrashed them on the league tables but we still need to go that little bit further”

| UPDATED

In the run up to Roses, after a long hard training session in preparation for demolishing York, the running club decided to call it a day and sit down on the grass for a breather. That’s when they decided to spend the rest of the afternoon plotting and writing out the words ‘Fuck York’ on the playing fields using a Garmin running watch.

The men’s team sadly lost Roses at York last year, 1st year Natural Sciences student and member of the Lancaster University Running Club said: “We could not bare to see another repeat of [the losses]. Furthermore, we sadly were also behind York in the BUCS cross country championship by a very small margin (only 61 points) so we now need to prove ourselves dominant once again.”

But this year has been looking a lot brighter for the Lancaster runners. Following the cross country races the team had competed in this year, the whole club were said to have been ‘preparing to utterly annihilate York’. This beautiful stunt was just what they needed to pump them up to win, to let York know who was boss.

It worked indeed and alongside the majority of other sports clubs of Lancaster, they won their event, gaining them 8 Roses points just days ago.

Time well spent if you ask me.

The member added: “We’ve already thrashed them on the league tables but we still need to go that little bit further to show that we are the superior university – so yeah, fuck York.” Fuck York indeed, mate.
