Dick Hudson’s Fell Race – Thu 29th July
From Bob Hamilton… For the second time in two weeks, Oli Murphy chased the winner all the way home, again losing out by just a few agonising seconds. Holding the race in late July as opposed to April meant that the best line from the start (by the gate on the track up to White […]

Aintree 10k – Sun 25th July
From Alison Bennett… My 60th birthday started with an outing to the races. Fortunately, the jumps and the fences for which this course is renowned were not a feature of today’s 10k race. Setting off in socially distanced pairs for a two-lap course, passing the iconic Red Rum statue, along the Melling Road and finishing […]
parkruns – Sat 24th July
Saturday saw the welcome return of parkruns in England. At Skipton, three Harriers placed in the top 20 – Rob Cunningham was third in 18:11, with Mike AC sixth and Tom Lambe 16th. And at Bradford – which is now run in a clockwise direction – Steve Gott also notched a third place with a […]
Lakeland 100 / 50 – Fri/Sat 23rd/24th July
From Ben Sheppard… I don’t know if it is possible to be overtrained for a 100-mile run, but I certainly was not. Praying for the heatwave to abate before the race start (6pm Friday) took my mind off the distance and climb that lay ahead: a cruelly misadvertised 105 miles and barely mentioned 22,000 ft. […]

Harrogate SRL at Sicklinghall – Wed 21st July
From Alison Bennett… Wednesday evening saw a small gathering of Ilkley Harriers receive a warm welcome at the first actual, non-virtual race of the Harrogate Summer Road League; rather too warm for most, with the evening temperatures being in the mid 20 degrees centigrade. This didn’t deter Dan who ran a scorcher to finish in […]
