Kempton Park Marathon – Sun 28 May
From Geoff Howard… A bit rusty regarding all things marathon, but I had a go at achieving a ‘good for age’ London Marathon qualifying time on Sunday at Kempton Park along with only 73 others. A somewhat idiosyncratic eight lap course, I’d planned to run at 35mins/lap pace giving 4h 40s (25mins within the target […]
Bradford 10k – Sun 28 May
From David Westhead… A select group of Harriers turned out for the postponed Bradford 10k on Sunday 28th May. Good running conditions brought some excellent times with just a light head wind holding us back on the ‘out’ of the ‘out-and-back’ along Canal Road. Joe Wilkinson’s winning time of just outside 31 minutes was excellent, but somewhat […]
Jura Fell Race – Sat 27 May
From Nea Weston… Alison and I took part in the Jura fell race this weekend. With 7 summits and 2,370m of climbing over 27km, it was an adventure of a day, mainly experienced in rain and clag! It was a great course, largely consisting of bog and scree with steep gradients in between! We emerged […]

From Dave Robson… This year’s plan to run a previously untried race each month continued in May with the ‘That’s so Hebden Bridge’ Fell Race. It is organised by Todmorden Harriers and is described as “a delightful 10K fell race run over trail and open moorland starting in Hebden Bridge, with a steep climb up […]
Harrogate and District Summer Race League #2 – Tue 23 May
From Paul Stephens… The Harrogate Harriers race from Cardale Park takes an anticlockwise loop through Beckwithshaw and the lanes to the South West of Harrogate. A couple of climbs which for some reason people seem to struggle with (I enjoyed them – honest) and a short section off-road, but mainly quiet country lanes. A good […]
Ilkley Gazette report w/c 22 May
From Jill Ezard… Success on fell, trail and road with three Harriers representing England in Chester. It was a beautiful if challenging weekend of racing for the Harriers who tackled events on road and trail in the warmest weather of the year so far. Three Harriers represented England in the Age Group Masters race on […]
Chester HM / England Athletics Age Group Masters HM Championship – Sun 21 May
From Sally Armitage… This race was possibly one of my most enjoyable to date. My first time wearing the England vest & everything went to plan. No niggles & no primary school viruses, a win in itself! The course was slightly undulating, most noticeable in the first mile and also the last mile, which was […]
Ingleborough Challenge – Sat 20 May
From Rachel Carter… Two friends and I took on the 12 mile Ingleborough Challenge organised as the main annual fund raiser by the Cave Rescue Organisation based in Clapham. Around 200 entrants took part in a 12 or 26 mile walk or run in beautiful sunny conditions that showed the Dales off to their best […]
