[Photo courtesy of Andrew Smith – Peter Shelley and Iain Young early on in the popular race] From Iain Young… First of all, congratulations to Ed Hobbs, not only for finishing first but also breaking the course record in this year’s race.

Shepherd’s Skyline Fell Race – Sat 2 Nov
From Dave Robson… I continued my attempt to run a new race each month this year, with a trip to Todmorden for the Shepherd’s Skyline fell race. Around 200 turned up to run the 6 mile, 350m route from the Shepherd’s Rest pub HQ to Stoodley Pike and back. It’s a great, low-key, £5 on-the-day […]

Brontë Way Fell Race – Sun 27 Oct
From Jo Foster… We think Jim Ryder was the sole Harrier running the Brontë Way Fell Race on Sunday. It was a stunning day for an 8-mile romp over the moors from Wycoller to Haworth, with the tough finish up the Haworth cobbles. This is a good value, relaxed race with a free drink in […]

Marathon Eryri – Sat 26 Oct
From Petra Bijsterveld… I travelled to Llanberis for my sixth time running Marathon Eryri (the English version of the name, ‘Snowdonia Marathon’ was dropped in 2023). It was the 40th staging of this iconic race and the Welsh weather obligingly showed its best face, giving us dry sunny conditions with only a light breeze and […]
