Bank Holiday Race Report: 26 - 29 May

I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely Spring Bank Holiday and to those of you who are away for Half Term: have a wonderful time.

It’s a quiet Race Report this weekend, with just a smattering of parkrun results to report. There were first placed finishes for Alex Paul (20.01 at Church Mead) and Sarah Quantrill (21.17 at Black Park). Meanwhile, Miriam Kempson earned herself a course PB for the Aldenham event (27.10) and Julius Ross Fawcett did likewise at the Fletcher Moss parkrun (22.34). Meanwhile, Jonny Slade kicked the weekend off early, taking part in Serpentine AC’s Last Friday of the Month 5k, and finishing in a brilliant time of 18.32. Well done, all!

Huge congratulations to Nigel Dickinson, who ran his first ever marathon in support of Multiple System Atrophy in the Edinburgh Marathon yesterday. Nigel finished in a great time of 04:26:03. If you want to support his cause, his fundraising page is here.

Finally, something a little different. Do you get a bit frustrated when you didn't know something "Harriers" was happening? Do you have ideas about how the Club could do better at communicating with new, existing or aspiring members? If so, then I need you! Email me at [email protected] to find out more….
