Haltwhistle Half
On an unusually warm, still and sunny day for late September in Northumberland, Barry Bell, Corinne Murray and David Aiken were our only runners at the Haltwhistle half marathon which was in its second year of running. The race was an out-and-back route and almost entirely off road, although the surface varied from tarmac-coated path
Hindmarsh brings it home
Sunday saw the annual Tees Pride 10km race in Middlesbrough, a race which is fairly flat which makes it a popular course for runners who are looking for a fast time or a good warm up for an Autumn marathon. Drew Inglis was first home for the club finishing 18th in 34 minutes flat with

Clive Golledge Memorial Relays

Harriers flee to Kilburn
251 runners took part in the Kilburn Feast 7.2 mile road today. The course is a very challenging undulating journey out of Kilburn to Coxwold, through to Byland Abbey to Oldstead and finally back into the village of Kilburn. The first mile out of Kilburn is flat and fast, very difficult to pace yourself well
Guisborough Grunt
We had a bunch of our hardcore Harriers at Esk Valley’s latest event, the Guisborough Grunt. This is a tough event but as always our Senior Harriers took it head on. Full results can be found here
Yorkshire Wolds Half marathon

The conditions were hot. At 7pm the temperature was still showing as 30 degrees with no breeze, air or
Timing issues at Aycliffe 10km
Sunday saw the return of the Aycliffe 10k race, an event which sees athletes run 1 small loop and two larger loops around the Greenfield area of the town….not very scenic! The course looks flat but it’s actually quite undulating as runners find to their cost! There was quite a mix up with timing afterwards
Trio at Osmotherley 20k
We had three of our runners at the Osmotherley 20km race, an event which starts and finishes in the beautiful village of Osmotherley. The route takes runners out of the village on the Cleveland Way to the mast at Beacon Hill before heading back towards Cod Beck Reservoir. A short road section will take them
Darlo Old boys Return
Twelve months ago the team of Simon Rogers, Paul Cook, Andy Dobson and Nick Mason romped home as the fastest non club at the Neptune relays…well they were back again with Dave McKenna replacing Nick with Andy the only non Harrier at this time. Dave McKenna got the team underway this time getting round in
Cook first home at Fountains
Sunday saw a small number of Harriers head to Ripon for the annual Fountains Abbey 10km. This is a testing 10km not just for it’s undulating course with a tough hill to finish but for the 2km farmers field that needs to be tackled, especially if the conditions aren’t ideal as the field retains large
