Hartlepool Marina 5 miler – Sun 10 Apr
From Helen Waddington… A less popular road distance but it’s been an empty box on Power of 10 for me so I felt it was time to fill it. They are (not surprisingly) thin on the ground but this one is a popular race having sold out a few weeks ago. The course is a flat […]
Calderdale Hike – Sat 9 Apr
From Jayne Norman… A 9am start at Sowerby bridge awaited approx 300 runners for the 3 different distances for the Calderdale Hike (16m, 26m and 36m) It was great to see Colin Williams at the start, who was doing the 36miles… I chose the 26mile option which was advertised as 3200ft of climb!

Manchester Marathon – Sun 3 Apr
From Sarah Hayes… This was my first ever road marathon. I’d been wanting to do one for sometime but kept finding excuses not to. But eventually I bit the bullet and went for it! My sister-in-law, Jenny had signed up to the event so I was persuaded by her to give it a go. The conditions were […]
Baildon Boundary Way – Sun 3 Apr
From Dan McKeown… The Baildon Boundary Way was back this Sunday after a c. 18-month hiatus. The preceding few days were a flurry of number trading, as half the field succumbed to Covid or other ailments / injuries, causing the organisers a few last-minute administrative headaches. I was one lucky beneficiary and arrived on a […]
