There was a good turn-out of runners from near and far at the 169th edition of the Street 5k races on Wednesday 11th October. Finishing in first place was Bridgwater’s Matthew Cox, a member of a local triathlon club, in a nippy 16.55. Chasing him all the way was u15 Wells City Harrier Matthew Quarterman in 17.19 which is a new personal best. 3rd overall was 1st V40 Tom Dukes (Wells Harriers), 17.23, with his son Dylan hot on his heels on every lap, finishing in 18.08. First for the women was F45 Elizabeth Parry, 22.44, winning the sprint finish from 2nd placed F35 Claire Lay, 22.46. In the 1k junior race Owen Dukes had a good attempt at the course record but was 13 seconds short this time round when winning. Alice King was 1st for the girls over 1k. In the 2k race Logan Moncrieff and Isabelle Walker won. Read on for full results and report. Well done to all runners especially if this was your very first Street race!

There was yet another great weekend of running by Harriers of all ages this past weekend. On the Saturday we had three crack teams of u15 juniors out competing at the prestigious UK Road relays. This keeps up a tradition going back over 15 years or so of the Club sending teams. Meanwhile Tim Hawkins went sub-3 again when running for a select V45 England team at the Chester Marathon; and Chris Green was in the top 3 at the tough Mendip Muddle. Also: Think about how you can help the Harriers with the current call for volunteers - Read on. (photo below of Paul, Chris & Nick after the Muddle)
