Ilkley Moor fell race, Sun 24 Feb
Thanks to the many helpers and marshals today, the 24th Ilkley Moor fell race was another super Ilkley Harriers event. Some very good performances from Harriers young and old, and really pleased to see our men win the team prize, led in by Tom. Full results and some photos on the race page.

What a great weekend! Read coach Pete Shields' take on the weekend
Snake Lane 10, Sun 24 Feb
Henry Heavisides reports ... Sally set a new F45 club record (beating Alison Bennett's 71:17 at the 2008 Guy Fawkes') & Beth and mark were only a few seconds off the F40 and M50 records.
(1 51:59 Carl Ryde, Doncaster AC) 13 56:22 Mark Hall 1st M50, UK top ranking 97 64:03 Henry Heavisides 4th M55 120 65:21 Beth Massey 2nd F40 PB 155 67:43 Sally Malir 2nd F45 737 ran
Mark Hall adds ...
Henry Heavyside suffered from a stitch from 2nd mile and never recovered.
Sally Malir was 2nd FV45 and is looking good for a fast time in London.
Beth Massey set a PB for 10 mile in 65:21 and 2nd FV40. She is benefitting from the speed training sessions with Pete Shields on Wednesday nights at Carnegie track (be good if more of you could get along to the track sessions on Wednesdays, they really work!)
Mark Hall, 56.21, 1st MV50. This time heads the UK rankings at MV50 10 miles by 90 secs as well as topping the UK MV50 5 mile rankings by 20 seconds.
Great NW Half Marathon, Blackpool, Sun 24 Feb
Well done to Derek Oliver who was 70th in 1h25:12: the race was won by Otley's Matthew John in h08:53, with 1140 finishing.
Ilkley Harriers Race League 2013
Martin has updated the League calculations with the PECO results: positions after 3 races. Henry scored some stellar points there, can Young Gun Bradley close the gap? Great to see Diane H scoring MEGA points at PECO XC - let's see some more ladies working their way up the rankings at the next races, Heptonstall fell and Guiseley Gallop. There's a full League calendar on the League web page.
National XC, Sat 23 Feb
Well done to Georgia Malir, Sally Morley, Diane Kitchen, Julie Elmes, Dave Westhead, and a host of juniors (in fact, a coach-load!) competing in snowy Sunderland. See Shirley's photos (more on Facebook), the junior report, some video, and the official results ...

Flower Scar fell race, Sat 23 Feb
From Steve Weston ... a brief trip to Hebden Bridge provided an opportunity to run the Flower Scar fell race. This is a new race that has replaced the Noonstone which was cancelled because of access problems. Race starts at Todd CC then climbs to the Flower Scar then there's a tussocky bit before it descends through a wood before going back up a track and going over a cliff before climbing a track through Robinwood. I was 122nd out of 242 in 67:56, CVFR's Karl Gray was the winner in 45:59. 1 & 2 were ahead of the pack by 4 minutes! Full results on Tod Harriers' site. 10.4km/700m AM fell race.

Wombwell 5, Sun 17 Feb
Mark Hall reports ... looking for a 5 mile race (not too many on the race calendar) I ventured south of Barnsley for the Wombwell 5. I was not sure what to expect having not raced for 2 months and within the first half mile or so I realised lack of race form meant I was going to struggle. I did this race in 2007 and ran a minute faster but hey ho old age and all that meant that I could only muster 27:37 for 9th place and first old person (V50) disappointed not to be able to average 5:30 miles and also go under 27 mins. No excuses, the day was perfect. The circuit had a steep climb and drag in the first 2 miles but after that flat. Winner was J Gray Sheffied 25:58. 275 starters.
Mark's time beats Henry Heavisides' V50 29:42 Club Record at Long Eton in 2010; and also Nick Pearce's 28:55 V45 and V40 records ar Roundhay Park in 2001!
Commondale Clart, Sun 17 Feb
From Jez Hellewell ... a beautiful morning on the North Yorkshire Moors for the 5.5m Commondale Clart. Came 13th out of around 125 in 40.00. As locals were saying: "very clarty"! (Won in 40:00 by Joe Blackett of Dark Peak, 128 finished.)
Beacon Bash
From Clare Smith ... a superb day for this LDWA jaunt through the undulating countryside around Parbold in Lancashire, though there was so much mud that it felt like a 21 mile cross country event! Excellent support stations, pie & peas at the end and a friendly atmosphere. No official results but Neil, Betty and I finished in 4hrs 10 mins. Betty received a certificate for being first dog back.
Ovenden fell race, Sat 16 Feb
From Paul Stephens ... a superb morning for this tough little 8 mile race from Ogden Water. It was still and clear, but boggy underfoot and rough going where you had to run by the side of some of the paths which were still full of snow. A couple of steep climbs amongst the overall 1200ft of ascent. Photos on the Woodentops site.
(1 56:33 Carl Bell, Keswick) 9 62:58 Martin Archer 28 66:21 Jamie Hutchinson 74 77:27 Brian Melia 81 78:23 Will Buckton 92 80:28 Paul Stephens 148 96:26 Val Kerr 181 finished
Carnethy 5, Sat 16 Feb
From Nick Pearce ... I was the sole Harrier at the Carnethy 5 fell race in the Pentland Hills, Edinburgh, on Saturday; the 44th running of this classic event. A tough roller-coaster over six miles and 2,500 feet climbing with five steep ascents and decents across open fellside and difficult running through heather and peat. The popularity of this race means it is always oversubscribed, and the 530 runners on the day made for considerable congestion over the first mile. The race was won by Finlay Wild in 49.46 and I managed 66.34 for 151st. I was over one minute behind the first 60 year old veteran, so a bit of work to do to get competitive for the upcoming fell racing season.

Predictor Run, Tue 12 Feb

Ilkley Harriers Race League 2013
A big thank-you to Martin who has taken over the League calculations: positions after 2 races. There's some great competition already with Super Vet Henry being chased by Young Gun Bradley. Some of the ladies have good points too and should do well if they do enough races (best 10 from 24). Next race: PECO XC on 17 Feb. Full calendar on the League page.
Dewsbury 10k, Sun 3 Feb
From Henry Heavisides ,... it was cold & breezy for the Dewsbury 10k. The strong wind seemed to be blowing in all directions & was particularly tough for the last 2k making it difficult to record fast times. Despite the conditions, Bradley Chapman did another PB. I was 1st M55.

YVAA GP 1, Horsforth, Sun 3 Feb
Eric Morley reports ... on an excellent day for running and an excellent course of about 4½ miles, which was about 90% off road and plenty of mud, four Harriers turned out and the Ladies outshone the men a little with the following results in the first YVAA Grand Prix race of the season ...

Rombalds Stride, Sat 2 Feb
From Dave Wilby ... I surprised myself and finished 2nd in a 6min PB of 2:46, Richard Pattinson won in 2:43. 1st lady was Jo Waites in 3:09
From Will ... A glorious day on the hills saw many Ilkley Harriers take on one of the toughest local challenges. A cold, sunny day meant beautiful views for miles around. Although many were using this as a build up to other events there were some great results throughout the field, especially Dave and Ben (3h24?), made even more incredible considering the course was longer than last year. The Pipers Gate checkpoint had moved into the next field meaning many runners had to run back adding at least half a mile.
From Ben ... the general consensus seemed to be that the times this year were slower than last, probably due to it being muddier and not helped by one of the checkpoints (pipers something I think) being in the wrong place - necessitating an extra out and back. Indeed my time was slower although I'm sure I ran better and placed higher. Conditions were good - mercifully frozen for much of the route - and bright blue skies made for an enjoyable run. Massive thanks to volunteers at checkpoints and refreshment stops. Cake of the day: the macaroons at Burley Woodhead.
