There was some great running by the Harriers at the past weekend’s Cross-country fixtures. (Saturday & Sunday 17th & 18th October). Harrier members of all ages from both the Monday & Tuesday night Harrier training groups that train at Millfield track, and the Tuesday night groups that train at the Yeovil Arena (Harrier members by virtue of our 20-year partnership with Yeovil Olympiads) took part.
For some, this was their first outing in the Harrier vest; for others they were clocking up 20 years plus of Harrier running! Many thanks to all team managers.

These past few weeks has seen some excellent individual and team performances by the Harriers competing on the road. First, we had some great running at the London Marathon by Christian & Melissa, and at the Loch Ness Marathon by Andrew, and then a week later the senior men’s & u17 men’s teams finished top 50 at the National Road Relays in Birmingham.
