Honorary Harrier Life Member Oliver Fox has been named in the TeamGB team to compete for the senior men at the World Cross Country Championships coming up at Aarhus, Denmark on March 30th. This will be Oliver’s 5th TeamGB vest following on his debut selection as a junior to compete at Edinburgh in January 2015.
Wednesday March 13th saw the conclusion of the 30th Series of the Street 5k Races with edition number 180. Appropriately enough, perhaps, one of the Harrier's 'other' TeamGB athletes, Ben Tickner, came back to win as his dad Ed stood down as Race Director; and Daisy Davies made her debut at Street and won for the females in a new Street 5k record for the u18 women. Queen and King of the Street 5k Series 2018/19 are Helen Southcott & Tom Dukes! Read on for Street 5k positions and times.

Harriers of a certain vintage, especially those who ran with the Club on a Wednesday evening back in the 1990’s, or who liked running off-road, on the hills, will remember Ian Teesdale. Sadly, Ian has died in the last few weeks and we recall here his enthusiasm and joy when running with the Harriers. Our condolences to his son, John, who always made the effort to come across and run the Babcary Road race, and to all his friends who knew him.
