Tour of Pendle – Sat 18 Nov
From Peter Roll… I’ve made the final & steepest ascent of Pendle & now running down towards the finish. Descending out of the thick mist & clag to find that I’m on my own, no other runners to see. Must have gone wrong somehow, I resort to the soggy remains of my course map & […]
Verona Half Marathon – Sun 19 Nov
From Harry Brook-Dobson… I ran the Verona Half Marathon this weekend. It was a pretty flat and fast course with the bulk of the race distance along the river. It was only the last 4km that were in the città antica with its twisty cobbled streets. The start was pretty bunched up and it took […]

Podium 5k – Sat 18 Nov
From Neil Chapman… Christos Tzelis was the only Harrier at the Podium 5k at Barrowford at the weekend. In far from perfect conditions Christos was 24th in the A race in a quality field, finishing in a great time of 15:15, which was a PB of 19 seconds. A good warm up for Doncaster 10k […]
