Manchester Marathon – Sun 10 Oct

From Hilda Coulsey… Another weekend, another marathon. Tales from the previous weekend at London built the pressure – the run itself, it is a long 26.2 miles on roads, and the muscle stiffness to look forward to after.  It was lovely to see a major marathon taking place again, crowds shouting encouragement, plenty of volunteers, […]

Three Peaks Fell Race – Sat 9 Oct

From Rachel Carter… It had never crossed my mind to think of running the Three Peaks Fell Race until someone mentioned after I had run the Wharfedale Half marathon that it was a qualifier. I gained the required second qualifier with the Yorkshireman Half and entered. April 2020 became October 2021 for the 66th race. […]

Lakes in a Day – Sat 9 Oct

Palma half marathon & 10k – Sat 9 Oct

From Matt Snow… A group of Harriers took one for the team and travelled to Palma for the half marathon and 10k runs. We even made the ultimate sacrifice and took the other halves. Well done to Dave Singleton, Roar Leijssen, Dave Holder and Matt Snow. Conditions were more conducive to fast running than our […]

Rotherham Round Ultra – Sat 9 Oct

From Colin Williams… On Saturday I took part in the Rotherham Round Ultra, a 50-mile trail run mostly through woods and over farmland with a small amount on roads. The race is part of the Run Further series of races for their league. There are 12 races, to qualify a runner needs to complete a […]

parkruns – Sat 9 Oct

Lots more good parkrun/’parkrace’ performances on Saturday, especially at Skipton where there was a Harriers double. Rob Cunningham was first across the line in an impressive 18:01 and Lucy Williamson was the first female finisher (and fifth overall) in 18:42, both PBs. Consolidated club results here
