Club Christmas Appeal Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to the Club’s Toy appeal, it’s a really difficult time for many families so it’s nice to see people helping those less fortunate out at times like these. Big shout out to Michael King for collecting items and taking them to the local Salvation […]

Event organisers have had to get their thinking caps on over the last few weeks on how to provide a ‘virtual’ version of their particular event, rather than cancelling it altogether. Basically, competitors would run the event locally, adhering to all the social distancing guidelines required, then submit their results to the organisers for comparison
The Endeavour events are getting very popular with the local club members with monthly alternate events from 1 mile to 5km. The course is 1km in length so it does mean multiple laps but that also helps with pace judgement. Some really great runs from everyone on the night, wannabe Darlington Harrier Dean Newton took
Described as fairly flat and fast 10 miler, the Snake Lane 10 mile race is always a popular race on the racing calendar each year and this year was no different. Starting and finishing in Pocklington, Barry Talman played pacer for the day, taking a break from supporting Eliud Kipchoge, to pace wife Louise as
Saturday saw a number of our athletes at the Royal Signal Relay event at Hetton Lyons Country Park, Sunderland; an event which sees ladies in teams of 4 and men 6. The course itself is 2.2 miles and consists of two laps on a very undulating course to ensure that all athletes work. The ladies
Wednesday saw the first Middlesbrough Mile (Stride Events) event take place at the Sports Village. This event is new on the racing calendar but definitely one which would be good to see happen on a regular basis to test everyone’s top end speed-endurance. The races are graded based on your own prediction which makes each
Ormesby Hall is one of the most popular rounds of the NYSD Cross Country Series, with a course that combines the scenic grounds of the 18th century mansion house with a woodland trail section to its perimeter. With all the rain a few days before, it certainly made for a wet and muddy affair in
Last weekend saw our men and women’s team in action again at the next instalment of the Cross Country Season, in Whitby. This race is mainly on the grass with a small amount of gravel track to run across and a short and sharp hill,which in poor conditions can sometimes require a race to support
The weekend saw a number of Harriers in Berlin for one of the World marathons. This marathon is where world records are set and broken and the weekend proved to be a close run thing as Bekele missed the WR time by a couple of seconds. The event was surprisingly unorganised, going against the grain
Sunday saw the annual Great North Run take place, a race which two of our club members (Paul Kelly and Harry Singh) have ran since it’s introduction in 1981, an amazing feat! This event attracts tens of thousands of competitors, many of whom raise thousands of pounds for their chosen charity and sees runners making
It’s that time of year again… As the Track & Field season draws to a close and the Cross Country Season is once again just round the corner, the popular NYMAC Relays takes place at Stewart Park. A cash prize for the winners is always a huge attraction and over 500 runners and athletics supporters
Julia Clifford and Nova Tarn were on hand to give a small number of Harriers some support at the midweek Cross Country Relays, a 3 person team event which sees each runner complete 2 laps of a XC circuit covering just under 2 miles. The race is split between senior and mixed teams, and then
Today saw the annual Darlington 10km race, and for a nice change the weather was kind to the runners with cool conditions and even a little bit of light rain to keep runners cool. For those who haven’t ran the Darlington 10km before, this race starts behind Boyes leading up to Stanhope road and on
Last week at the Summer Coast 5k race, two of our runners were omitted from the results. This is because the results system that is used doesn’t allow to search by club but by where the athlete lives so not always easy to track! Anyway our boys in Blue (and white) finished 52nd (Adam) in
John Clifford celebrated his 48th birthday by joining a number of Harriers at the Summer Coast 5km race. On a fairly decent night for running with only a slight wind to contend with, it was John who led the Harriers home finishing in 11th place in a fast field in 16:47. Tony Winward went with
