Thirsk 10-mile – Sun 13 Mar
From Sally Armitage… Yet another single lap, chip timed, road race which ran out and around country lanes. This was the final race in my hat trick of races and despite not getting the time I was aiming for (I’d hoped for sub 1:05) I felt strong and really enjoyed it. There was a turnaround […]
Yorkshire Vets’ AA XC Ch’ships – Sat 12 Mar
From Dan McKeown… A brave trio of Harriers made the trip down the M1 to Sheffield for the Yorkshire Veterans’ AA Cross Country Championships on Saturday.

Harriers Race League update!
From Dan McKeown… As our hardy, footsore tailwalkers cross the finishing line, clutching five miles’ worth of garden canes and tape, the Ilkley Moor Fell Race is duly concluded and the latest round of the Harriers Race League is in the books! Let’s take a moment to assess the damage before we sling our road […]
Ilkley Moor Fell Race – Sun 6 Mar
From Peter Shelley… I first participated in the Ilkley Moor Fell Race in 2009 as a youth of 41 having moved to Ilkley from Cambridge, which had a limited fell racing scene. I turned up to that first event wearing the wrong shoes and asking the wrong questions about pacing and minutes per mile. After […]

Cambridge Half Marathon – Sun 6 Mar
From Dick Waddington… One of the biggest half marathons in the country, this is a surprisingly fast course given the complexity of the route, which takes you through the grounds of two of the many beautiful colleges – Jesus and Kings (which alone had 6 tight turns) before heading out of town on a big […]
Norton 9-mile, Sun 6 Mar
From Sally Armitage… I think I entered this after missing out on a place in the Askern 10k, both races being organised by Askern District Running Club. I didn’t realise at the time of entry that this meant I was now booked onto three hard races in as many weeks, something I would definitely not […]
Welcome Way Ultra – Sat 5 Mar
From Petra Bijsterveld… Photo credit Punk Panther The Welcome Way is an existing waymarked circular long distance walking route connecting Otley, Burley and Baildon. In fact it goes right past the back of my house which I never realised until I started recceing the route. Local ultra-race organiser Punk Panther stages an event which largely […]
