Ilkley Half Marathon – Sun 11th July

From Jonathan Turner… Another brilliantly organised and marshalled Ilkley Half – all the more impressive given the challenges and restrictions imposed by Covid – was enjoyed by nearly 100 Harriers. Plenty of fantastic performances including top-seven places for Jack, Oli and Cam, plus top-five in the ladies standings for Lucy and Rachel. If I’m not […]

Lakeland Trails 55k – Sat 10th July

From Andrew Merrick… Jane McCarthy, Helen Waddington and I set out from Ilkley at 7am on Saturday morning for a Lakeland adventure, Jane having very kindly offered to drive us across to Ambleside in time for our staggered starts. We had located a car park close to the start by 9am, giving us plenty of […]

Wharfedale Trail Half Marathon – Sat 10th July

From Jo Foster… Before marshalling on Sunday I did the other half marathon that was on this weekend, Saturday’s Wharfedale Trail Half Marathon. It’s a gorgeous route that starts and finishes in Threshfield and is lumpier than I remembered. It’s not just about Mastiles Lane! We also had humid conditions but there was, at least, […]

Race to the Stones – Sat 10th July

A father’s race report from Bob Hamilton One of four races in the Threshold Trail Series, the Race to the Stones follows the ancient ridgeway path from Lewknor, at the edge of the Chilterns, to Avebury in Wiltshire, 100 kms in distance. What was Forrest thinking? He’d not even run a marathon before this event. […]

Harrogate 10k – Sun 4th July

From Mike Abrams-Cohen… A hilly multi terrain event, the Harrogate 10k saw seven Harriers compete. Dan McKeown obviously had his Weetabix this and he powered up the hills like a graceful mountain goat, finishing in a godly 37:56 to finish seventh out of 785 and first in his age cat. Followed (not so closely) by […]
