Amanda Parnaby did this Roundhay Park race in 45 minutes
A great result from 2nd-claim Harrier Stefan Macina, 26th in 3h33. Jason Hemsley (Otley) also completed, but had some mechanical
problems. Lots of other fell-runners in there - Rob Jebb won it, Stephen Bottomley, etc.

AS 4M/1000' Another good turnout of Harriers, at this the final event in the English Fell Championships.
Andrea won the Ladies race in a new course record of 27.13. With that win, she will become the English Fell Champion (to add to her British Fell Champion title). We had a great ladies team backing Andrea, with Emma Barclay 11th in 31.34, Alison Weston 15th in 32.25, Sally Malir 18th in 32.46, and Alison Crane 24th in 33.55, all in the top half of the field, and first ladies team!
Next it was the men's race. Nick Pearce led us home - 81st in 27.51, then Mark Iley and Mike Baldwin, Geoff Howard,
Norman Bush (who clinched 2nd Vet 60 in the Championship with this run), Iain Mann,
Ian Marshall, Mark Priestley, Paul Wood, Phil Chappell, and Dave Ibbotson.
Impressions of the race ... a big field, two steep hands-on-knees climbs, and a very long brain-in-neutral descent -
a classic race!

With the drastic reduction in evening daylight seen in the last week, all organised evening training will now be away
from the fells. See the training page for more details.
Summary:
Andrea Priestley ran in the this race, which consisted of 5 legs - swimming, kayak, fell race, mountain bike and
trail race - with teams from the home countries plus a European team. Andrea won the fell race. England's men came
second overall to Scotland despite Simon Booth winning the fell race. The ladies won.
The fell race was 3 miles up and down Connich Hill, tailor made for TV - apparently it will be shown on Channel 4 later in
the year.
AS 3.5M/800' With a change of venue from that advertised to a Danefield-Relay type course with its lung-bursting,
gut-busting finish, our Harriers made the best of the extra post-race challenge - to drink a pint of Briscoe's real ale
immediately after finishing. Apparently Nick Pearce (22.14 run, 0,57 drink) made up 3 places to 7th,
Mike Baldwin (13th, 22.53/0.48) certainly didn't lose any; and Morgan Williams (29th, 27.03/1.16) overhauled the first lady.

A good turnout of Harriers at this friendly local race - over half the field. Jason Hemsley retained his title from the
last running of the race in 2000, and Kirstin Bailey won the Ladies title, with Emma Barclay and Alison Weston 2nd
and 3rd ladies.

Circuit training is BACK from 9th September. Same format as last year: warmup starts at
6.30 prompt, then one hour of really hard work.
More details on the Training page.
NB All Mondays in September are at the Grammar School gym.
A bit hilly! Lloyd Best and Karen Page both finished in 1hour 58 min 45 sec
And Margot Dale ran the Glasgow Half Marathon in 1h57m in terrible weather, 8 minutes faster than last year
Andrea Priestley won the Ben Nevis (AM, 10m/4400'). She was 38th overall in 1.52.55 (The race was won by Andy Peace.) The conditions were poor on the descent (very slippery) but we think this is the fastest ladies' time for some years - the next closest appears to be Carol Greenwood in 1992 and Tracy Ambler last year.
AM, 10m/5000' Jane Leather was 3rd lady in 2h36
Or is it the "Marrow Mile"? Or the "Midgey Murder Mile"?
Whatever, this 1-mile uphill race with 560' of climb was enjoyed by all the runners who took part. Some challenging records have been set, and now we're looking forward to giving the race a higher profile next year.

Teams of twelve, running in pairs to cover the 60-odd miles of the Leeds Country Way in 6 legs. As last time, in 2000 Ilkley fielded two teams, one men's and one ladies'. All the teams enjoyed 'wall to wall sunshine'. There was one moment of drama when the ladies just beat the Leg 5 mass start, photo right.
Official times are:
Ilkley Harriers Ladies 1 Bridget Doherty and Janet Hebbert 1:54:02 (37) 2 Joyce Marshall and Rachael Gooch 1:34:08 (22) 3 Jane Bryant and Karen Page 1:34:04 (26) 4 Cath Wolfenden and Jane Leather 1:41:26 (25) 5 Sally Malir and Julie Harvey 1:19:23 (18) 6 Heather Duke and Amanda Parnaby 1:45:12 (38) 30th overall, 4th Ladies team in 9:48:15 Ilkley Harriers 'A' 1 Ian Marshall and Phil Chappell 1:27:02 (16) 2 Pete Shields and Neil Chapman 1:26:33 (13) 3 Dennis Ackroyd and Lloyd Best 1:22:35 (14) 4 Nick Pearce and Mike Baldwin 1:32:30 (16) 5 Andy Sarah and Norman Blackburn 1:34:21 (34) 6 Dave Ibbotson and Keith Wood 1:16:38 (18) 17th overall in 8:39:39

Second-claim Harrier Kirstin Bailey was first lady in 11.30; Norman Bush ran about the same time; and Dennis Ackroyd ran 13m.
Dave Matthews 15m, Jane Leather 16m, Bernie Connor 18m
And Bernie, partnered with Wharfedale Harriers' Bob Hamilton, finished 2nd in the egg-throwing competition.
Richard Midgley ran this race, 35.5 miles, in 5h24 for 37th place - he was one of the 61 finishers who beat the cut-off time of 6.5 hours.
The Burnsall Feast includes both a fell race and a 10 mile road race.
The road race was won by Ian Fisher;
with Andy Wade the first Harrier 10th in 60.47; then Neil Chapman who ran the race in 66.05 then ran home to Ilkley!;
then David Ibbotson in 76:20, It was a rainy afternoon, with a tough undulating course around Hebden, Grassington,
Linton and Thorpe.
Nick Pearce ran in the fell race, 1.5 miles with 900' of climb, and finished in 18 minutes.
Adrian Hall and Eddie Winslow share the award for the Booths Ilkley Harriers Runner of the Month, click here for details.
AL, 14 miles with 6000’ of climb. A good turnout at the penultimate race in the
English Championships.
Andrea Priestley finished first lady, 36th overall, and set a new ladies’ record of 2h28
(the old record had stood for 14 years).
Also running well were Nick Pearce 57th in 2h35; Jim Ryder 103rd in 2h49; Mike Baldwin 117th
in 2h55; Geoff Howard 125th in 2h59 and Alison Weston 126th and 8th lady also in 2h59. Pete
Shields was 144th in 3h04; then Rachael Gooch 193rd in 3h21; Iain Mann 194th in 3h21; Norman Bush 200th in 3h26;
James Lind 202nd in 3h26; Jane Leather 209th in 3h28; and Emma Barclay 211th in 3h29. We were 3rd ladies team on the day,
7th Vet and 5th Vet-50 team.

Even further North, Shirley Wood was running in the Pheonix Long O (navigational) event in
the Cheviots. In the 'C' class she had
19km with 1200m of climb, over rough terrain in very hot conditions. Her 4h16 was good for 15th place overall, and
4th lady. Unfortunately our tent collapsed so we had to retreat home, missing the second day.
Pheonix Long-O
Orienteering is navigating with a map around a course in the shortest possible time - herein lies the link with
running.
There are a few orienteers in Ilkley Harriers, and most of them were at this series of 5 races over fabulous Lake District
terrain. Top result was from Joyce Marshall, 3rd in a very competitive class, with Shirley Wood struggling this time in
15th place and Lindsey King 21st. Ian Marshall was 31st on his course, with Rob King 43rd (despite detours to 'bag some
tops' not actually on his route).

AL, 17m/6500' Alison Weston continued her excellent form on the fells coming 2nd lady in 4h14, and 43rd place overall. Geoff Howard was 61st in 4h35, and Iain Mann in his first long Lakeland fell race did a commendable 5h45
No Harriers at all at this event. But it is of interest because it is the last race in the
British Fell Championships.
Kendal's Louise Sharp ran and won the ladies' race, which finally brings her level with Andrea Priestley on Championship
points, so they will apparently share the title (who thinks there should be a race-off? I know who I'd bet my shirt on!)

Our intrepid fixtures secretary found this strangely-titled race whils on holiday in deepest Cornwall. Over a tough and hilly course, and on a hot day, Dave Ibbotson ran a creditable 1h52. This despite sunburnt feet, being buzzed by buzzards, and some confusion between pasta-loading and pasty-loading.
AM 10M/3250' Won by Tim Davies in 1:07:11; Nick Pearce was 57th and 4th Vet in 1:23:38; and Jane Leather had a great run to finish 256th in 1:50:45. Second-claim Harrier Jason Hemsley was 20th in 1:15:49
Eddie Winslow and Adrian Hall competed in separate categories in the third 2
day ACE race held around Wimbleball Lake, Exmoor. Competition was intense in
this British Adventure Racing Championship qualifier. Eddie was out to
defend his series placing.
Meanwhile Adrian together with Fiona Paterson competed in his first ACE
race as a mixed pair.
Beginning with a 1 hour ride to the start of the event, teams set off
through the forest on a 3 hour score type running section. An hour
later and with the temperature increasing, the 5 hour mountain bike stage began.
The highlight (?) was cycling up Dunkery Hill in blazing sunshine before a
bone rattling descent down a "bridleway". A much needed 3 hour rest passed
before the beginning of a 90 minute night navigation stage started at
10pm.
The second day dawned even hotter with a 2 hour kayaking stage on
Wimbleball Lake immediately followed by a 1hr 40 minute trail race.
The final results were 4th in male solos for Eddie and 7th in the mixed
pair for Adrian and Fiona.

In the final 8 hour race in the Salomon X-Adventure GB Series held in Kielder Forest Eddie Winslow and Adrian Hall, together with Thorlene Egerton, raced to third place in a competitive field. The event started with a 10 mile fell run followed immediately by a long mountain bike through the forest. After a brief section of rope work the team continued on mountain bikes to the Canadian canoes. With the weather threatening to close in, an impressive hour long paddle on Kielder Water (greatly assisted by Thor's ability to steer) put the team in a strong position into the final bike section where they took their tally to 24 checkpoints out of a maximum of 27 before racing back to the finish at Kielder Castle in 7 hours and 45 minutes. A good result following 5th position in the last two races.
AM, 7M, 2000'. Winner John Taylor (Bingley) 47.09. Nick Pearce enjoyed a good run, 16th in 54,24; closely followed by Jim Ryder 19th in 54.52 and Mark Iley 22nd in 55.39. James Lind was 60th in 60.15; Ian Marshall 76th in ~61.30; Steve Cockerham 104th in 66.25; Andy Wolfenden ran 70.07. Keith Wood time tbc
A select band made it to the final event in the Harrogate League, the Handicap Race. From the results it looks like the handicapper didn't smile on them too favorably (oops), but it was a little more cheerful at the League Prizegiving afterwards where we picked up trophies for:
First Ladies Team
First Lady Veterans Team
Champion Lady Vet/35 - Julie Harvey
Champion Lady Vet/40 - Alison Bennett
Well done to them all!

Another good turnout for another distant midweek event - 18 Harriers. Harrogate beat us on the day in the Ladies and Lady Vets, but we
retained our overall lead in both. We Are The Champions!
But in the main team competition Otley squeezed us out to 4th, and in the Vets we slipped down to 4th overall - shame to
miss out on possible 3rd places in both. Next year ...
