Hyde Park Summer Mile – Wed 29 Jun
From Helen Waddington… Always a popular summer event this takes place around a two-lap course on the tarmac paths in Woodhouse Moor park. When entering you declare your predicted time and are allocated into heats (13 in total) with each group setting off as soon as the previous heat has finished. Fantastic organisation by Hyde Park […]
Trawden 7 Trail Race – Sun 26 Jun
From Rachel Carter… Our family travelled 1/2 hour over the border into Lancashire on Sunday to take part in the Trawden 7 Trail and Junior Races. I only entered a couple of days in advance after spotting an advert posted by Dave Woodhead but worthy to note for the future is that the first 100 […]
Eccup 10M – Sun 26 Jun
From Sally Armitage… Today I felt like I’d committed a crime, I didn’t race in my club vest. Not because of the jokes from my club mates but because I actually felt guilty. If I thought for a second I would have a podium finish I would’ve at least taken it for the presentation. Onto […]
Buttermere Horseshoe – Sat 25 Jun
From Simon Richardson… It’s a big one – 35km, 2500m ascent – and so is my report. I got carried away again. You can see pretty much the whole race skyline from the carpark field at Loweswater, which is both perfect and unnerving before the race. Good weather, with light cloud and lower temperatures than […]

From Dave Foyston… Photo credit Ian Watson The evening of June 22 saw the final race of the winter league Evensplits at the Brownlee Track at Boddington Fields at Leeds.

Pudsey Legal 10K – Sun 19 Jun
From Mike Williams… Nigel Illingworth and myself represented Harriers in this race. It is about 800ft of climb packed into 10k along with various surfaces to handle. It was extremely well managed by Pudsey Pacers so I recommend it. Nigel ran the race for his father who died on the Saturday. Its fair to say […]
Edinburgh Seven Hills Race – Sun 19 Jun
From John Hayes… 14.5 miles 2,500 ft of climbing Zebras? Ever since I learnt of this race, it has been top of my “to do list”. Its core appeal is a fabulous combination of hill running and road running, with some urban orienteering to add to the mix. It takes in the seven hills of Edinburgh, being: […]
The School Run Holmfirth – Sat 18 Jun
From Mary Jeal… The School Run is a 6.7m trail race in Holmfirth, part of the Summer Wine Race series. Mary was the only Harrier and was 1st F60. Results

From Michael Abrams-Cohen… Photo credit Steve Davey A small field took on the inaugural Baildon 10k and 5k Trig Point Challenge. A tough off-road trail race to the Baildon Trig Point and back (for the 5k). The 10k had to do an additional few loops to the trig. Mike AC the sole Ilkley entrant, tucked in […]
