Pendle 3 Peaks, Sat 30 Aug
From Jamie Hutchinson ... starting from Barley 9m miles and 2500 ft height gain! I ran well for the first few miles but then dropped a few places over the 2nd half of the race. Flagged to first control and then a little bit of navigation needed, which resulted in a bit of head scratching for the leaders. Great conditions for running and really enjoyable race. I finished in 11th and 1 hour 33 mins - the race was won by Richard Pattinson in 1 hour 25 mins. I managed 1st in my category (albeit 3 M45s beat me!)
parkruns, Sat 30 Aug
From Petra ...Quite a few Harriers out parkrunning this Saturday. The Schneiders made Skipton parkrun a family affair with David coming first, followed hot on the heels by brother Jonathan in 4th place, and Fiona also running a brilliant time on this hilly (by parkrun standards) course.
It is Skipton parkrun's first anniversary next Saturday and it would be great if a few Harriers wanted to join them for the run and a small celebration in the park afterwards.

Tour of Norland Moor, Sun 24 Aug
Jamie Hutchinson reports ... a 10k trail run round the moor at Copley near Halifax, starting with a pretty tough first half mile or so of climb. I climbed well with the leaders but fell off the pace as the course levelled off. Great views round the moor as a few of us swapped places, before gradual descent back toward Copley followed by a flat last quarter of a mile. I came in 41:26 and 7th. The race was won by Clive Fitzpatrick in 38:38 and 99 ran.
Pendleton Fell Race, Sat 23 Aug
From Jann Smith ... one of the longer fell races this weekend (5m / 457 ft AS) started from Pendleton village at the back of Pendle Hill and took us straight up the back end of Pendle Hill and back down on part of the Full Tour of Pendle race route.
43 48:28 Jann Smith 2nd F40
Burnsall road and fell races, Sat 23 Aug
From Petra Bijsterveld ... A number of Harriers were at the Burnsall Feast for the road and fell races, the road race being a counter in the Ilkley Harriers Race League. Whilst driving there I was almost washed off the road at Bolton Abbey by a monsoon-like cloudburst, but the rain held off for the rest of the afternoon. I had not been to this event before and enjoyed all aspects, the gala with its family fun, running the road race and then watching the junior and senior fell races. The senior fell race was started by 94 year old Bob Newbould who won the race in 1939! Some excellent Harrier results below.
Results: fell, and
road.

Patterdale Dog Day (Fell Race), Sat 23 Aug
Justin Phillips reports ... I scampered up the 900ft climb like a springer spaniel after a tennis ball only to descend like a slobbering Bloodhound en-route to the vets, finishing 16th in 29 minutes 30s. 36 ran and top dog for the day was Inov-8 sponsored Rhys Findlay-Robinson who broke the course record in about 22 minutes (he went on to finish 5th at the Grasmere Guides race on the Sunday).

Sedbergh Hills, Sun 17 Aug
From Dan Wilkinson ... Conditions were tough today for the 2nd long counter for the English Fell Champs, horizontal rain, clag and at one point sleet I think! Most competitors were layering up and I was forced to put hat and gloves on at the top of the calf as the MWIS predicted -5 windchill hit, in mid August! Things were just as tough on the ground with the steep trods reduced to slides and the traverses slimy mud. Of course all this made it more fun and on reflection this was one of the best races I have done. Ged Callan from Bingley featured in my field of vision again as I followed him round, not managing to pass him and finished 55th M in 2:33. The quest for champs points continues... Results ...

Sedbergh, Sat 9 Aug
From Dave Woodhead ... Ilkley girls at Sedbergh Winder Hill summit finish of British Uphill's and World Trial today.
Turner Landscape fell race, Sat 9 Aug
From Will Buckton ... AM 17km/910m. After battling my way to the Lakes through a stream of incompetent drivers I made it to Seathwaite just before the start of the race. After registering I returned to the car to see the race starting without me! I quickly changed into my fell shoes and pinned my number to my vest and set off in pursuit of the runners. I soon caught the back-markers and managed to pick off a few more to finish 31st out of 89. A great route which takes in the summits of Grey Friar, Swirl How, Brim Fell, Coniston Old Man and Dow Crag. A great low key atmosphere with coffee and cakes at the finish, recommended.
(1 1h32:48 James Logue, Calder Valley) 31 1h55:16 Will Buckton 89 finished
Arncliffe Gala, Sat 9 Aug
From Jack Wood ... The latest in my cycle-to-a-BOFRA-race series was Saturday's Arncliffe Gala. Thankfully I had some time before the race to sit in the sun and recover from the hilly Malham road. There were some good junior Harrier performances including Ruaridh Mon-Williams 1st U17 and Euan Brennan 2nd U14. The senior race got started at a fast pace along a track. We then climbed steeply before going along a ridge and back down into the village. Iain Gibbons ran well to finish 20th, two places ahead of me in 22nd. Norman Bush came in 48th. Results ...
