Another race to take place on Sunday was the Scottish half marathon where we had five athletes in action. Alison Matthews blasted her way round to 4th place in the ladies race and although she missed out on a podium place, she broke her personal best and that’s as much as anyone can do in
Darren and Sara Gee along with Amanda and Julian Waller headed to Ambleside to take on the new Wansfell trail race. Starting at Rothay Park, the race route follows the footpath straight through the park and heads North East once over the bridge to come out opposite the University of Cumbria. It then follows the
On Sunday morning Barry Talman, Shaun Marshall and Barry Foster headed to North Tyneside to take on the Jelly 10 mile race with a new altered course. This isn’t your typical flat 10 miler as it has a tasty little climb in the middle of the run. Official results aren’t out but one for next
On Sunday afternoon a number of Harriers headed to Thirsk for the start of the cross country season, the 2.2 mile relays.

On Saturday morning a small number of Harriers headed to Bedale for the Snape 5/10km events. Leon Reeve couldn’t believe the course measurement this year as they got the race measurement badly wrong for the 5km race, measuring around 6.2km! Penny Skilton was also in action on the day but as of yet, results have
Jade Hutchinson and Natalie Curgenven were both in action on Sunday at the Rotterdam World Triathlon Championships. After both achieved qualification through some impressive performances earlier in the season, Jade (Female AG 18/19) and Natalie deserved their place amongst the field and weren’t there to make up the numbers. In the 1.7km swim, Natalie finished
Sarah Cook and Sam Stanley were in Disneyland action this weekend , but did they both get a fairy-tale ending? Sarah running with Theo ran the 5k and had a right buzz at the finish! Woody run another though? Meanwhile Sam ran both the 10k and the Half marathon in consecutive days! Impressive indeed Sam,
On Wednesday evening a small number of Harriers headed to Middlesboro to have a run at the new 5km race at Great Ayton. A fast first mile down hill with a flat 2nd mile and a small incline towards the finish meant it was a good night for the runners. Paul Lowe smashed his personal
At last weeks Sedgefield Serpentine race we had two of our seniors in action. A scenic little course but one to keep all runners interested. Well done Leigh and Penny, looked fun! Leigh Hindle 185th in 78:39 Penny Ivison 189th in 82:17
Last week, Georgie Rutherford was in Triathlon action after a series of races in the last few weeks. Georgie, looking very relaxed here and stormed to victory in her first half distance triathlon for some time. Well done Georgie, top effort.
Last week we were disappointed not to get sight of Matt Capsey in action at the DT60. Fortunately Matt was snapped running across a scenic car park as he headed towards 42nd place in 13:51:25. Well done Matt and all other Harriers competing.
Alison Matthews was in action last weekend at the Pumsaint trail Half Marathon. A race in the middle of foreign soil….well Wales! With 600 metres of ascent, a course which is described as “Scenic” and “Hilly”….a tricky event even for the toughest of runners. Alison put in a typically strong and gutsy performance finishing first
At last week’s South Park 10, the results published were the provisional results for the club runners. The results below are the final results for the event. Well done all.
On Saturday we had a small number of Harriers taking on the Hardmoors 60 mile race. I’m not sure if you all deserve a medal or just locking up and having the key thrown away! Massive respect to you all. Official results have yet to be released but here is what we know.
Last Saturday afternoon a number of Harriers competed in the Castleton 10k race, in a small race with only 52 runners, results are now out. Some excellent results on the day with a number of team and individual prizes. Well done all!
Last week at the Great North Run we had a number of athletes missing from the results for various reasons (obviously not through running under others numbers…ahem!). Some personal best’s amongst this group including Steve Rogers, Sally Dale and Rachel Girard who took a whopping 10 minutes off her time. Apologies to anyone else who
On Sunday morning at South park, a number of club members came along to support the club at our 10mile race. With some kind weather on the day after Saturday’s downpour the scene was set for a good run. A fantastic set of support people helped organiser Paul Cook make this event happen so thank
