Ilkley Incline – Wed 7 Sept
[Thanks to Will Worboys for the photo] From Caroline Howe… Wednesday evening saw the return of the Ilkley Incline in its full race format, following Harriers-only events in 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic. It was the 20th anniversary of the inaugural race, which was introduced by Andy Wolfenden in 2002, so it was fantastic […]

All members should have received an email this evening notifying you of the 2022 AGM in just over three weeks. Attached to it is a draft agenda and minutes from last year – we’d like as many as possible to attend so please do make a note in your diaries and help us continue to […]
Wetherby 10k – Sun 4 Sept
From Sally Armitage… Another year, another cracking race. A ‘flattish’ multi-terrain road race. A strange description, there’s an almost 2km section on a rough farm track around the edge of a field, the rest is road/well made footpaths. ‘Flattish’ because it doesn’t feel flat! You’re always on a slight incline or a slight downhill, bar […]
Wrexham Half Marathon – Sun 4 Sept
From Hilda Coulsey… I was double booked with this race and the Wetherby 10k, however I chose this as I felt I needed a longer race prior to an October marathon plus I’d joined Helen’s Saturday morning effort session (always helpful and enjoyable). I had little expectation of a decent result – completion was my […]
Grisedale horseshoe – Sat 3 Sept
From Alison Weston… Kelly and I took part in the Grisedale horseshoe on Saturday. 11 miles and almost 5,000ft climbing – Catsye Cam, Helvellyn via Swirral edge, St Sunday Crag and then the steepest climb up Grisedale Brow and back to Glenridding. Hard climbs and tough descents but fabulous views and lots of food at […]
British/Irish U20 Mountain Running Champs – Sat 3 Sept
From Pauline Munro… Emily Gibbins was third, getting the bronze medal, at the British and Irish Junior Mountain Running champs in the under 20 category and the England under 20s team won. This followed hot on the heels of her 36:32 in the York 10km – her first road 10km. And she was the first […]
Three Shires Fell Race – Sat 17 Sept
From Alison Weston… A lovely sunny day for this stunning fell race. Starting from Little Langdale the route goes over Wetherlam, Swirl How, Pike O’Blisco and – the sting in the tail – Brown How. There were about 250 starters in the race with a few timed out at Three Shires stone. The winner was […]

Great North Run – Sun 11 Sept
From Iain Young… From Newcastle to South Shields, I finished in 1:26:33, another Half Marathon PB achieved – and positioned 722nd with around 60,000 runners taking part. Helped Muscular Dystrophy UK raise over £30,000 at the event in support for fighting muscle-wasting conditions. I would really like to say a massive thank you to everyone […]
Vale of York Half Marathon/10k – Sun 11 Sept
From Sally Armitage… A fast, flat road race along country roads around Wistow, south of York. This was possibly the flattest race, upwards of 5k, that I’ve ever ran. With only two short, gentle inclines, it’s a true PB course. Fortunately the weather played ball too, with no wind and cooler temperatures than of late, […]
