Good Evening, Race Report fans. I hope you have enjoyed a fabulous weekend and dodged the rain.
It was a special day for Chiltern Harriers on Sunday, with the club hosting it’s first YDL league match for ten years. It was a great success with many complimentary comments from other clubs, officials, parents and athletes.
A huge amount of work had been put in by Alan Hewson and his huge army of helpers at Little Marlow Athletics Track to get the venue into tip-top condition for the day. This was in the weeks leading up to the meeting and especially on the day before. Dozens of older athletes, parents and coaches also helped on the day with the smooth running of car parking, refreshments, results, equipment and so on. Big thanks go to Nicky and Des Beckford, Sarah and Derek Lloyd, Adam Janisch, Ben Walsh, Sally Delgado, Tom Dixon, Sue Slade, Paul Goddings (PG Events) and Godstowe Prep. Match 3 on June 29th sees Wycombe Phoenix hosting at the same venue, so hopefully it will be just as successful. The match saw the Chiltern team move a up a place from match 1, finishing a creditable fifth, not far behind fourth. A good turnout of 43 athletes enjoyed some good competition. U15 Girls There was an A string win for Maya Davis in 800m in a PB of 2.24.25.

You find me relaxing after a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon spent track-side (well, in an equipment shed) at the Lower Age Group of the Youth Development League. Chiltern Harriers hosted the meet, to great applause, at Little Marlow. Well done to Alan Hewson and his band of volunteers for a really well-run event. The bar has been set high for Wycombe Phoenix, who will be hosting at the same venue at the end of the month. [Top Tip: you always need more sausage rolls.] Watford Open May 28th

First of all, may I treat you to a quick look back at last weekend’s Pednor 5. Huge thanks are due to all the volunteers who made it possible, both on the day, but also (more importantly) in the months of planning that takes place ahead of the event. You all make it the success that it is. From my quick count, there were 25 Harriers out running the course. St Albans Striders pipped our men for the male team prize, but our women came out victorious! Special shout outs to: Aran Davidson, 3rd overall in 26.28; Adam Shute, 1st M40 in 27.44; Beverley Whitfield, 2nd woman in 30.44; James Malin, 1st junior males in 32.08; and Rebecca Lawson, 1st junior female in 40.37.
