Bob Graham Round – Fri 16 June
From Peter Shelley… I have been fascinated by the Bob Graham Round for years, ever since reading Richard Askwith’s Feet in the Clouds. After abandoning my build-up to an attempt in 2019 due to injury, I decided to have another go in 2023. The timing coincided happily with several other Harriers deciding their time for the […]
Hyde Park Summer Mile – Wed 28 Jun
From Geoff Howard… It would seem that, in common with many runners, running mile races has been a significant omission in my competitive range peppered, as it is, with fell races, trail, marathons, 10ks, parkruns etc.. etc. It was back in 2017 that I first noticed the annual Leeds Golden Mile on the track at […]

Darren Holloway Buttermere Memorial Race – Sat 24 June

Kirkby Gala – Sat 24 June
From Rachel Carter… Myself and my two boys headed off for Kirkby (in Furness) Gala on Saturday for the latest BOFRA race. In contrast to the recent short steep up-and-down type of BOFRAs of recent weeks (Kettlewell, Hawkswick Dash) Kirkby offered a slightly longer runable out-and-back course (except for wall jumping to get out of […]
Hardwolds 40 – Sat 24 Jun
From Petra Bijsterveld… Photo credit Hardmoors / SportSunday Having run a lot of Punk Panther ultras I felt it was time to enter a Hardmoors race and see a bit more of the eastern side of Yorkshire. The Hardwolds 40 race is approximately 47 miles (I call that value for money!) with 4300 ft of […]
