Charlotte was delighted to make it through to the final and finish with […]
Darren Stockdale was once again the lone wolf at Esk Valley’s Commondale Becon fell race, a race out in the North Yorkshire Moors and part of the Winter Fell Series. This race is another tough one (aren’t they all) which includes 300m of ascent in the 13km route. Darren, who is an excellent fell runner,
Two of our club runners were in action at the Hamsterley Trail Half Marathon earlier today. This event had a bit of everything for the competitors, great views, hills, trail paths and even a trip across the freezing cold water… What more could you wish for? Of our two runners, Jo-Anne Tarn was first home
Wes and Nova Tarn were our two Harriers in action this weekend at the Kielder 10 Mile trail race, a race with 320m of ascent which provides some testing climbs & exhilarating descents for all competitors.

Some of our Junior Harriers just couldn’t wait to burn off those Christmas calories with one of the first cross country competitions of the New Year. The annual event, hosted by the North East Harrier League, was as popular as ever, attracting athletes from all over the region, including six from our junior squad. Here’s
The third race to take place on New Years Day was the annual Captain Cook’s fell race, now in it’s 37th year, over at Great Ayton, with all proceeds from the race donated to local charities and good causes. The event is held over a mixed terrain course of 8km (5 miles) with 318 metres
Mark Milner also started the new year with a bang as he headed to Kirby Stephen to take on the Nine Standards Fell race, an out and back race which looks to have been designed by our own Barry Talman. This course is very runnable for most parts on a dry day and covers 8
While most club members were either taking on a parkrun (or two) or still in bed after the previous nights activities, Josh Duffy and Peter Foulds had other ideas as they headed over to Robin Hoods Bay to start their 30 and 15 mile races. On a fresh morning for running Peter finished 31st in
Sunday saw eight of our Harriers make the short trip down to Ripon for the annual Jolly Holly jog, a 10km event which has a bit of everything for competitors taking runners across road and fields which, due to recent weather, will have kept the course muddy in places. David Nalder was first home for
Three of our athletes made the long trip to Blackburn to race the Ribble Valley 10km event, an event which is described as a classic traffic free course and also the North of England 10k Championships. On the day the race was actually won by local runner Marc Scott in an incredible 28:32 but our
A 5.5 mile multi-terrain race from Hart Village through the dene was the destination for six of our Harriers this Sunday as they ran the Old Monks race. This race begins on trail and goes into dene, with challenging climbs before runners head back onto flat tarmac back to the finish. Jade Hutchinson was once
Darren Stockdale was in his element today running in the Guisborough woods race. An event consisting of three laps for the competitors, taking them winding through the woods. Plenty of mud around the course to keep everyone interested which definitely ticks the box for Darren. On the day, Darren finished in 137th position in 63:26.
The day after Boxing Day we had the club Handicap race, an event organised predominantly by Ian Barnes and Lesley Miller, as a bit of post Christmas fun around the Blackwell grounds opposite South Park. The conditions were a little muddy to say the least with appropriate footwear a must (ahem) but a great course
While most runners have their feet up after a Christmas Day’s over indulgence, Amy Pickworth had other plans as she headed A1 South to run the Chevin Chase 7 mile race. This race is a hilly, multi-terrain race starting and finishing in Guiseley via a circuit of Otley Chevin. In a very large field, Amy
Sunday saw the annual McTaggart Trot, an event which sees runners placed in teams of three (one 3.7mile runner, a medium paced 7.5mile runner and a longer distance runner covering 11 miles) who have to run through each checkpoint together, losing one runner at each point leaving the longer distance to the finish. This event
Another race where we had two of our runners on show was today’s Saltwell 10km race. This race is a tough 3 lap undulating route through parkland and is England’s oldest road race. Ian Barnes was the first of our two runners home finishing in 63:43 and 11th out of 12 runners in his age
Today saw the 36th Poultry Run, held by Loftus and Whitby AC is a multi-terrain event over a course which is approximately 8 miles in length. This is a fun event with most competitors in fancy dress to get into the spirit of the event, with our two runners Graham O’Hara and Val Clarke joined
