Bradford 10k – Sun 28 May

From David Westhead… A select group of Harriers turned out for the postponed Bradford 10k on Sunday 28th May. Good running conditions brought some excellent times with just a light head wind holding us back on the ‘out’ of the ‘out-and-back’ along Canal Road. Joe Wilkinson’s winning time of just outside 31 minutes was excellent, but somewhat […]

Jura Fell Race – Sat 27 May

From Nea Weston… Alison and I took part in the Jura fell race this weekend. With 7 summits and 2,370m of climbing over 27km, it was an adventure of a day, mainly experienced in rain and clag!  It was a great course, largely consisting of bog and scree with steep gradients in between! We emerged […]

Kempton Park Marathon – Sun 28 May

From Geoff Howard… A bit rusty regarding all things marathon, but I had a go at achieving a ‘good for age’ London Marathon qualifying time on Sunday at Kempton Park along with only 73 others. A somewhat idiosyncratic eight lap course, I’d planned to run at 35mins/lap pace giving 4h 40s (25mins within the target […]

Harrogate and District Summer Race League #2 – Tue 23 May

From Paul Stephens… The Harrogate Harriers race from Cardale Park takes an anticlockwise loop through Beckwithshaw and the lanes to the South West of Harrogate. A couple of climbs which for some reason people seem to struggle with (I enjoyed them – honest) and a short section off-road, but mainly quiet country lanes. A good […]
