Inverness Half Marathon – Sun 12 Mar
From Alison Bennett… I was tempted into trying this half marathon after booking a holiday in the area. The race was subsequently selected to be a Scottish Championship event attracting a field of around 3000 runners. It’s many years since I have taken part in a half marathon, and haven’t much experience at this distance so I […]

From Colin Williams… I have to thank Dan for putting the Dentdale 14 in this years Harriers League, it was a really enjoyable road race, if you haven’t entered before, I recommend you give it a go next year. I was a little concerned that getting to Dent would be a problem with all the snow, […]

Tokyo Marathon – Sun 5 Mar
From Andrew Merrick… Having not done a road run since 2017 (Chicago), I did think more than twice as to whether I should complete the set by heading to Tokyo this year, 3 years after covid got in the way of the original 2020 plan…. A lot of (slow) ultra runs had flowed under the […]
Ilkley Moor Fell Race – Sun 5 Mar
From John Hayes… Thank you to all who organised and helped out at this year’s Ilkley Fell Race. I enjoyed it greatly. So too did my dad (Mike Hayes aka Spike) who at 85 was – I think – the eldest runner. From Petra Bijsterveld… A very successful 2023 edition of the Ilkley Moor Fell Race saw […]

From Dan McKeown… Photo credit Nigel Pepper As is often the case, the final race of the PECO cross country season at Roundhay Park was a fixture clash with our very own Ilkley Moor Fell Race, which didn’t augur well for a good team turnout. In particular, our men’s team needed to hold onto second place […]
