Today saw the return of the Darlington 10km race after a two year gap due to the Covid situation making last years event a virtual one. This event clashed with the last senior Track & Field event with promotion and possible championship on the line so for once numbers weren’t as high as usual but
We had six of our Harriers in action at the Great North West Half Marathon on Sunday morning. For those who may wish to do this race, it’s a flat and fast course and ideal for personal bests….with one snag; it’s in Blackpool in February so conditions are rarely perfect! There’s definitely been worse conditions
On a wet Sunday morning in Leeds, a good turnout stood shivering awaiting the start of the TNT (Temple Newsam Ten), a race which sees competitors undertake an undulating course off road with some testing hills along the way. This year seemed particularly difficult, with a number of wet days leading up to the event
On a very cold Saturday morning, Croft Circuit saw a great turnout of runners including many Harriers for the 2nd year of our latest club event on the racing circuit. We had a number of club members supporting the event in various capacities, including Race Adjudicator, Starter, Marshall, Timekeepers, Registration, Photographers, and generally just supporting
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
16 Harriers headed to New Marske earlier this evening for the Autumn Coast Road 5K. Conditions were very windy with gusts up to 44mph and what must have seemed like a sandstorm hitting the runners head on as they made their way up the coast road. Despite the poor conditions, John Clifford was first across
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
A race closer to home was the Darlington 10km, a 5.95m trail race around Darlington’s South Park. Tony Winward was again first Harrier home, finishing 2nd, with Nev Ford another Harrier in the top 5. Maria Daniels was first lady Harrier home in 29th place, husband Simon nine places further ahead. Some great performance by
It was another strong turnout for the club at the Everyone Active, a repeat of the Mermaid 10km race in April with an opportunity to post yet another fast time for the year. We had 5 of our Harriers making the top 20 with Wes Tarn taking the honours after a 4th place finish in
Sunday morning saw the Run 4 Louis event, held at South Park organised by our very own Sam Richardson, a charity which is close to her heart. This charity which helps families through child bereavement, stillbirth and miscarriages isn’t one of the most known charities but offer a fantastic level of support to those who
Mermaid 10km is a very popular race on the local circuit due to it’s flat course profile and a real chance to get a personal best early in the season and for some this delivered. Adam Mitchell was first Harrier home after sitting on team mate Paul Allan’s shoulder for most of the race before
On Sunday morning we had one of our club races at South Park in the form of a 20 mile race. This race which is new to the running circuit over the last few years is there to aid local runners with their spring marathons. Some fantastic support by many club members on the day
On Wednesday night we saw over 300 runners descend onto South park to support Children With Cancer in a 5km fun run organised by Paul Cook. This was another event which saw many Harriers come together to support such a fantastic cause and raise money. The night was a great success raising over £3000 including
Last Saturday morning the club held the Croft 5km event at the named racing circuit on the outskirts of town. After the anomalies had been ironed out the results have now been published on Racebest. Croft race circuit is always a little controversial as people run a variety of distances depending on the route taken
On a busy Sunday morning, a large contingent of Harriers headed to Ripley near Harrogate to run the Guy Fawkes 10 mile event, an event which has some challenging hills and more importantly lots of chocolate goodies for all finishers!! A good event and one which Nev Ford was first home for the club finishing
On Saturday morning post parkrun Darlington, the club held it’s annual 10 mile race. Once again the weather was kind as the sun got out to make it a lovely day for running. The day which actually had a World Record holder racing in it as Guy Bracken (1 mile V55 WR holder) was amongst
Last Sunday saw the first race of the Cross Country take place at the Flatts, Thirsk. Results are now out which saw our ladies senior team take 3rd spot and the men in 6th. Great to see many Harriers making their debut on the day.
