300 hardy runners made it to the start of this tough 14 miler. However, the conditions kept another 147 pre-entered runners away.  Although the fresh snow made it hard going, the scenery was even more spectacular than usual. 

Harrier Times

Another great, well attended evening commemorating everyone’s achievements for the year 2011

It was a Wilford double for the Harriers of the year.  Congratulations to them both.

Many thanks to Social Secretary Paul Nealon for organising yet another outstanding evening.

Please note, I am experimenting with flikr for club photos.  Our website is getting so big with the amount of pictures we store that it is affecting its performance and creating backup issues.

Now its a bit cooler, dont forget we have plenty of club hoodies, priced at a bargain £12.

New stocks are unisex sizes, and are XS, S, M, L and XL.

Contact Bev for hoodies, and Rich Thomas for all other kit orders

Congratulations to Irene Forty for winning the VL60 winner, and to Graeme Slight for coming 3rd in the VM50 category.

Next race counts for team competition only.  Best 5 out of the 6 races.  Would be great to have a good turnout again.

Please can we kindly remind members NOT to block the path to the leisure centre when congregating before and after training.  It is not fair to other users of the centre, and we don't want to become a nuisance!  Thank you.

Congratulations to Bob King who was 1st V60 in the series beating Dave Oxland (Notts AC).

Huncote Harriers dropped to 4th overall in the series losing 3rd place by 1 point.
