Doncaster 10k – Sun 26 Nov
From Sally Armitage… Yet another fast, flat road 10k entered in the never-ending quest for fast race times! I ran this race 4 years ago, it was my first sub 40 10k. I’ve entered it every year since but COVID put paid to 2020, then injury in 2021 and illness in 2022 so I was […]

Leeds Evensplits 5k – Wed 22 Nov
From Hilda Coulsey… It was a strong, gusty wind for this last 5k race in the 2023 series. Nevertheless 85 hardy souls, only two of us Ilkley Harriers, braved the elements. Harry had a great race, improving his PB over last month. My time wasn’t as good as my last time here in February, but […]
Ilkley Gazette report w/c 20 Nov

This figure of 8 course, is widely regarded as one of the hardest on the fell race calendar. Now in its 39th year, this race requires runners to deal with […]
Verona Half Marathon – Sun 19 Nov

Jack’s update from Switzerland – Sun 19 Nov
From Jack Wood… Grüezi Mitenand…From the north east corner of Switzerland. I’ve been proudly wearing the red and green vest in a handful of races since we moved here in August.

Tadcaster 10 – Sun 19 Nov
From Sally Armitage… A ‘flattish’ (as described by the race organisers – though actually I think ‘undulating’ is more accurate!) road 10 miler starting with a loop around town then out through the country villages before heading back into town. I ran this race 2 years ago, they tweaked the course slightly this year. We […]
