Race For Life, Ilkley, Sun 29th May
Well done to everyone who did Race For Life on Sunday. Thanks to Emma, Sue, and their girls for talking to runners about Ilkley Harriers and handing out leaflets: if any ladies fancy finding more about Harriers have a look through this page to get a flavour of what the Club does, and find out more about Harriers membership here.
Housman Hundred 28th-29th May
Neil Smith reports ... Named after the poet A. E. Housman, this year's annual LDWA flagship challenge event was based in Shropshire. It included sections of the Mortimer Trail, Offas Dyke path and Shropshire Way, and was actually 101.2 miles long with almost 17,000 feet of climb. I managed to get round in 27 hours 54 minutes, in 13th place.
Inter-Counties Fell Championships, Scotland, Sat 28 May
Tom Adams in his crisp new Yorkshire vest finished 10th overall, leading the Yorkshiremen's team to Silver (with Ben Mounsey 12th and Graham Pearce 15th running for Yorkshire for the fifth time). In the ladies race Yorkshire won the Bronze medal, the team including Helene Whitaker 15th and Sally Morley 20th.
Isle of Jura fell race 16m/7500ft, Sat 28 May
Dave Wilby reports ... Ilkley Harrier Graham Arthur certainly didn't take on just any old challenge when he decided to enter the world of race organisation, choosing one of the 'monuments' of fell running, the Jura race. I'm glad to report that he did a fantastic job and the race was a great success, despite the best efforts of the weather in the week before. 4 Harriers took on the challenge of very strong winds on the tops, hail, rain, huge scree and a lot of boggy ground, as well as one of the most brutal courses on the calendar, to all successfully complete the challenge in good style. I managed to get round in 3:58 to claim a sub 4-hr whiskey glass, Steve Turland set a new pb in 4:08, Stuart Pitches claimed a 4:28 on his 1st atttempt and inside his target of 4:30, and Sophie Brown should be extremely proud of herself after conquering the course and finishing in around 7hrs, a fabulous effort. 1st home was Es Tressider in 3:21, and Sarah Ridgeway led the ladies home in 4:09

Windermere Marathon, Sun 22 May
Fiona Schneider reports ... After a heavy hailstorm as we were waiting to start, we had a dry run around Windermere. In fact, the conditions were suddenly very good for running. This has to be a favourite marathon course. I was 8th FV50 in 4.45.42 A new course record was set - S. Littler 2.32.08, on a course with an overall climb of 485 metres.

Jane Bryant reports ... despite 2 of us having had the lurgy all week, 1 with dodgy ankle and 1 with very tired legs we came a fantastic 8th place. Last year we were 10th, so to come in the top 10 was great, and with a 48 yr old “ringer!!”. Official results.

Skipton Tough Ten, Sun 15 May
Ewan Welsh reports ... meandered over to Skipton on Sunday morning for the ‘Tough’ Ten road race realising that it was actually my first
road race for about 4 years and first 10 mile road race in about 5 years. Skipton have resurrected this race, it’s certainly deserving of the resurrection,
myself and John Coates where t’Harriers representation, in fact I last ran this in 2006, where, again, John and myself were the only Harriers.
I think it’s the last time I spoke to John, where does the time go !
In a race with several long climbs (one particular long climb from about 1 ½ mile to approx 5 miles) and sharp descents, I found myself physically
wilting at around 8 miles, finishing in 76 mins, John came in a bit after that, not sure what time, but elated that is was 5 mins faster than he did in 2006,
(I was a few minutes slower than previous attempts, in the previous attempts I didn’t wilt at 8 miles, that was the main difference).
I believe there were about 70 runners, I didn’t wait about for the results, I manage to suss out that only one runner came in under the hour,
it’s not the fastest 10 miles you will ever run, it’s more like a fell race on tarmac (apart from watching out for traffic ), I did pass a few runners
walking fell like up the hill, a bit surreal.
Lee (that runs with Bingley and coached by Pete) was 1st in around 57 mins and the only one under the hour.
Hopefully Skipton will keep this going as it merits a bigger field and is an excellent route, if you like Otley 10, Burnsall 10, Dent 14 and those
type of road races then this is the another to add to you suite of races to do.

Capabilities Overview, Sun 15 May
Amanda Parnaby reports on ... 24 miles around Sledmere, organised by East Yorks LDWA. Weather windy but pleasant. The route changes slightly each year as it takes place on private land owned by local farmers and the Sledmere Estate. The only downside was the lively stinging nettles we encountered en route. Completed in 5 hrs 45 mins
Fairfield Horseshoe, Sat 14 May
Lee Morley reports ... a number of Harriers made the trip to the Lakes for the Fairfield race. The organisers slightly changed the course with it starting and finishing 500 yds up the hill above Rydal Hall, a killer finish after the ½ mile run in.

Mearley Clough, Sat 14 May
From Dave Wilby ...
Still awaiting the final version of results, but the small band of Harriers in attendance acquitted themselves very well indeed.
The course was only 3.5 miles long but provided a true test of championship fell running (English Fell Champs counter) with a bit of everything thrown in including some
very fast running initially, a steep runnable climb, an even steeper hands on knees climb, a run around the cairn, a steep descent, a bit of a scramble,
some contouring then some absolutely lightening fast downhill running in to the finish. The ladies went off first and despite being world famous for
her endurance feats, Helene Whitaker demonstrated her all round ability by leading home the Harriers ladies well inside the top 10 overall,
and also taking first V45. Sally Morley wasn't far behind at all, possibly sneaking in to the top 12, a great performance in such a quality field.
The team was rounded off by Emma Barclay, and they may well have taken the 1st team place.
In the men's race, Tom Adams was looking to see where his excellent recent form would put him in the national scene, and he did himself proud finishing
16th in 29:36 a very high quality field. There's no doubt he'll only get better as he does more category 'A' fell races, so watch this space. I claimed the final
scoring spot in 50th which was only the 2nd time since 2007 that the Harriers have had 2 points scorers in the same championship race. Jim & Eric were also in
attendance,
Jim sporting some fashionable cargo shorts as he'd forgotten to pack his usual racing shorts. Fortunately it stayed dry for the race as he would have doubled in weight
if they'd started holding water!! Not sure of any age group positions as yet.
Well done to all, a tough race in a fantastic setting. Next champs race is Duddon Valley (20 miles) on 4th June, then Loughrigg Silver Howe (8.5 miles) on 26th June.
Entry details on FRA website now.
And from Emma Barclay ... the Ladies had a good strong team out for this event, we know that we got first ladies team which is a great result. Helene (7th) and Sally (11th) both had a good race, I came in as 3rd counter in 17th position. Not sure how we did in the Vets Ladies Team until official results are issued. A cracking short race and very well organised. Well done to Tom and Dave who both did very well.

John Carr 5k #2, Wed 11 May
36 Harriers including juniors were out for this one. Many ran faster than last week, including Tom in his 2nd race in 2 days, but he was beaten by the fastest John Carr win in several years (since 14:41 in 2007, in fact).

Jack Bloor Races, Tue 10 May
There was a sea of red and green vests at this year's Jack Bloor Races, always well supported by Harriers. There were 46 Junior Harriers (over a third of the field) in the junior races. In the senior race Tom Adams finished a close second to P&B's Graham Pearce, the two well ahead of the rest of the field. Ilkley had 3rd team, 1st ladies team with Emma Barclay 3rd lady, and over 40 runners (plus additional 2nd-claim runners and Junior Harriers parents!).

Trunce 3 Fell Race, Mon 9 May
Lyn Eden reports ... Jim and I did this lovely 4 mile [approx], fell race, the third of a nine race series (web site) following an afternoon in Sheffield with our grandchild. We are gradually getting back into running after our worst cough and cold ever which had taken a month to get over. It was, therefore a pleasant surprise that we both ran our fastest run in this series this year.

Beaverbrooks Blackpool 10k, Sun 8 May
From Jane Bryant ...I went to the seaside on Sunday to compete in this 10k, which is primarily a charity fun run along the front and back. It had to go north this year due to the south side being closed due to road works, although the “Start/Finish” banner people forgot this and put the banner the wrong way round to confuse us. There was an area at the front for the “serious” runner’s which appeared to include several men in “morph” suites. The female announcer, wondered if they definitely were men, and yes, I can categorically state that they were! A torrential downpour on the start line helped cool things down and off we went. I got to the 5k in 19.30 (don’t know what happened on Wed!) and then turned to come back and was met by the wind, so it was a return 5k in the wind. Didn’t feel like I slowed, as I stayed with the same crowd, but finished in 41.15. As I finished, I was told I was 3rd lady, but then I saw 3 women already finished and it turned out I was 5th! No prizes for being an old lady in this race, no chip, but a decent medal for the kids to play with and a good day out. Definately 1 to put in the diary for a fast 10k next year, weather dependent.

Amanda Parnaby reports on ... 23 miles in and around Malham. I reached Gordale Scar before the early afternoon rain and this, coupled with encouragement from fellow participants, persuaded me to once again take this route rather than what, in future, will definitely be my preferred option of the long way round. Despite my problems at Gordale Scar it was an enjoyable day. Finished in 6 hrs 5 mins.

25th Birthday Party, Tue 3 May
Ilkley Harriers was 25 years old on Monday 1st May!
We kicked off the celebrations when members new and old got together for a bit of a Do.
We were pleased to welcome some of our previous members and founder members too.
ILT&SC laid on some stylish nosh with Pimms and canapes, Chris Matthews produced a magnificent birthday cake (and decorated the room),
and Vince Gibbons and Richard Gray hosted the fiendishly difficult Harriers History quiz.
A great time was had by all -
