Good Evening, fans, from Race Report HQ. I hope you’ve been enjoying this glorious sunshine.

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.​
