Dentdale Run – Sat 9 Mar
From Harry Brook-Dobson… Photo credit Philip Bland It was the 40th anniversary of the Dentdale run on Saturday 9th March. Dent Primary School organise a 14 and 8 mile road race: down, then back up the valley. While the route sticks relatively close to the river it still clocks up a decent amount of elevation […]
Welcome Way – Sat 9 Mar
From Petra Bijsterveld… Photo credit Ryk Downes – Punk Panther Endurance Events It becomes quite hard to say something new about a race you are taking part in for the third year running. On the upside it allows for quite a bit of time saving cutting and pasting from previous reports! The Welcome Way is […]
New Longton 10k – Sun 3 Mar
From Mark Hall… Another trip to the Preston area for this race. I have not run in this event before so gave the organiser a call to ask about the circuit he informed me that the circuit was flat which it was, unfortunately, he didn’t mention there was a 1 mile (at least) section of […]

Trafford 10k – Sun 3 Mar
From Neil Chapman… Christos Tzelis was the only Harrier who joined over 1500 other runners at the Trafford 10k at the weekend. This is a big race that attracts many of the top runners, which is highlighted by the 28:57 winning time of the Swede Victor Urquhart Smångs and the fact that 28 runners finished sub […]
Leicester 10k – Sun 3 Mar
From Hilda Coulsey… I headed to Leicester, missing the Fell Race volunteer duty, to road race aiming to lodge a good time. 10k is a hard distance to race, as I definitely reminded myself again today. Also whereas I expected it to be fairly flat the over 80m elevation didn’t help. The route though is […]
