Races in honour of Pete Shields
We’re hosting two races over the next couple of months in honour of Pete Shields, a much-loved former coach and fellow Harrier, who died early in 2020 – and we need your help. Both events will be raising money for charity and we’d like as many Harriers as possible to enter or volunteer – and raise awareness of them to friends and family. […]
Old County Tops – Sat 18 May
From Alison Weston… Kate and I took part in the Old County Tops on Saturday, visiting only 3 tops, Helvellyn, Scafell Pike and Coniston Old Man but about 36 miles and over 10,000 ft climbing! It was hot work in the valleys but the views were amazing. I struggled up (and down) Coniston Old Man […]
Ilkley Gazette Report w/c 20 May
From Jill Ezard… Podium finishes on trail and road, England vests and GB team selection – it’s a great start to May! Two evening races started the week for the Harriers. On Tuesday Kyle Bethell, Jane McCarthy and Mark Iley ventured to Rudding Park near Harrogate for their Rudding Parkrace, an undulating single loop 10k trail […]

Brontë Half Marathon – Sun 19 May
From Helen Waddington… The inaugural Brontë Half Marathon couldn’t have had a better first day, although at times it felt perhaps a little too good! This hilly trail race (just over 2000 feet of elevation) has piggy-backed on to a long-standing MTB event, which offers 3 distances for the bikes (Charlotte, Emily and Ann!), the runners […]
Chester Half Marathon – Sun 19 May
From Hilda Coulsey… The day was really hot, the first time this year for me running in 25 degrees full sunshine. I was on a mission though, I’d failed at this event last year pulling out with a pre-existing calf strain which unsurprisingly didn’t get better when I started to run. Then I attempted to run the […]

Caton Gala 10k – Sat 18 May
From Sally Armitage… Today I ventured over to Caton, a small village in the Lancashire countryside, for a 10k road race. With the sole purpose of a good ‘race pace’ run to prep for upcoming larger events (to make me work hard as I struggle to do that without the buzz of a race!). I’ve […]
