Good Evening, Race Report fans. Well, I don’t know what else you might be doing this evening except reading Race Report. I don’t think there is anything happening, is there?
Fortunately, there are loads of results for you to get your teeth into. A huge congratulations, first of all, to those Chiltern Harriers who were representing their county at the English Schools Track & Field Championships, 12 - 13 July. It is an absolutely huge achievement to even be a part of those events. Do look out for a future report from Steve Perkin to find out how they all got on. A relatively quiet report for you this week, but - pleasingly for me - it’s full of ultra action! (The best kind of action in my books).
Good Evening, Race Report fans, from a Race Report HQ where I am currently multi-tasking between writing this report and watching the football. I’m not finding myself in he mood to come up with a bunch of puns right now…
Good Evening, Race Report fans. I help you have been enjoying the weather as much as we have been here at Race Report HQ.
Most of this week’s results come from yesterday, Saturday 22 June. We’ll kick things off with parkrun: there was a first placed finish for Becs Nkoane at one of my old stomping grounds, Canon Hill Park (great cross-country course) in a time of 20.39; Ed Wright earned himself a course PB on Littlehampton Prom (21.55); and massive congratulations to Doug King for hitting the milestone of his 250th parkrun at Gadebridge - in a time of 32.43. In the Misbourne 10k trail race, held in Great Missenden, it was a third win on the trot for Chiltern’s James Palmer (38.56), who led in new member Daire Stack in second place (39.24), and Neil Turner in their (41.10). Mark Liggins, another new member, finished in a very respectable 51.48, while Club stalwart Steve Field was first V70 in 74.46. Well done, Harriers! Meanwhile, over in Loughborough four Chiltern athletes faced off against stiff competition in the British Milers Club Grand Prix. Twins Archie and Euan Pinder took part in the 800m heats, clocking times of 1.54.12 and 1.57.87, respectively. In the 1500m events, Tom Emery came home in 3.56.98 and Leon Doran in 4.05.31. And finally, Lauren Mayot and Ben Hannen braved the heat and the hills of the Midsummer Murder trail races today. Lauren completed the 10 mile event, finishing in 1.47.44 and bagging 1st V40 for her efforts, while Ben finished the (rather long) half marathon in 2.21.08. COMING UP LOCALLY: Watford and Oxford graded open track meets, the Ridgeway Relay, Youth Development League, Last Friday of the Month 5k, the Thame 10k, English Schools Track & Field Champs, Humanity Direct Chiltern Ultra and EA Track & Field Champs. More details on these events, and more in the Club Calendar. Good Evening, Race Reports fans from a sunny Amersham. I hope you all managed to enjoy some time outside this weekend, be that running, or while taking part in some other activity.
Good Evening, Race Report fans from a sunny Sunday evening. I hope you all managed to enjoy some time outdoors today. First of all, a big thank you to those who came along to the social last night and to those who helped with organisation: both in advance and on the night (shout out to Katie Royals, Harriet Lemon, Sue Ellerby, Neil Bates, Mike Shrive and Hywel Thomas!)
Good Afternoon, Race Report fans, on the 70th anniversary of the first sub-4 minute mile by Roger Bannister at Oxford’s Iffley Road Track. It is great to see that our very own Sue Slade was here joining in the celebrations at the Community Mile today. Meanwhile, here at Race Report HQ we are looking forward to watching runners put through their paces over 5 miles at Pednor this evening. Make sure you check back here for the results.
After a busy few weekends of marathon-ing, it’s something of a quieter Race Report this evening, albeit quite an exotic one!
Good Evening, Race Report fans, on that most wonderful of wonderful days - London Marathon Day. Once again the sun was shining and Harriers didn’t let us down as they pounded the pavements of the capital.
However, before we get to that, let’s look back to the Boston Marathon, which took place on Monday 15 April. Caroline Stephens and former member Adrian Berry both toughed out the course, which is the home of ‘Heartbreak Hill’ on a hot day. Caroline finished in 4.29.26 and Adrian in 3.13.16. Well done, both!

Good Evening, Race Report fans at the end of a weekend that was not only notably for its epic marathon performances… but also for the dry weather! I hope you managed to enjoy both, either vicariously or personally :-)
Aran Davidson kicked the weekend off ‘Under the Lights’ at Battersea Park, competing in a hotly-contested 10k event and coming home in a brilliant 33.06. |
