Calderdale Way Relay – Sun 26th Sept
From Jayne Norman… Sunday saw the return of the Calderdale Way Relay which takes in the sights around Halifax, including for some a trip up to Stoodley Pike. We finished an amazing 16th out of 62 teams. There were some last-minute changes due to snake bites (and not the drink variety!) but we managed to […]
Ilkley Incline – Sun 26th Sept
From Caroline Howe… A small but hardy bunch of Harriers took on this year’s Ilkley Incline event! First to finish was Rob Cunningham, with Lucy Williamson in second place. Pete Shelley was first by age grade and Jenny Roberts was second female (both overall and by age grade). All four win £25 adidas vouchers – […]
Great Whernside Fell Race – Sat 25th Sept
From John Hayes… This race – which was the Yorkshire Fell Championship this year – is quite easy to describe: 2 miles uphill, touch the summit cairn and then 2 miles downhill the same way. Although, in fact, coming back down involves more route choice than you’d think. You have to dodge the other runners […]
Thieveley Pike fell race – Sat 25th Sept
From Alison Weston… Another of the FRA original 50 races from Holme Chapel. A bit like Ilkley fell race with a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Just over 4 miles with 1.115 ft climbing. I can’t find official results but my time was 48:29 minutes (6th Lady). Antonio has also been doing a lot of […]
Reservoir Dogs – Sat 25 Sept
From Petra Bijsterveld… Reservoir Dogs is a local ultra, organised by Punk Panther, starting and finishing in Otley as many of their races do. As the name suggests this event is a tour around several of the reservoirs that serve our area: Lindley Wood, Swinsty and Fewston, Thruscross, John O’Gaunts, Beaver Dyke and Scargill, before […]
Ring of Steall – Sat 18 Sept
From Tom Adams… Photo credit: Scotland Skyline photographers The Ring of Steall (UK final of the Golden Trail Series) I travelled up to Kinlochleven on Friday and set up my tent in the pouring rain a couple of miles from the race start. On tonight’s menu was some chicken pesto pasta, a pretty boring meal, […]

South Mynd Tour Fell Race – Sun 19 Sept
From Kate Archer….. Three Harriers travelled down to Shropshire for the last race in the English champs fell league. 14 miles with 1270 metres of climb. The route had a bit of everything, some very steep sections and quite a lot of fast running on tracks and grassy paths. There was some route choice at […]
