This past week has seen some excellent performances by Harrier members –topped by Oliver Fox gaining his 3rd TeamGB vest following a tough, intensely competitive race at Liverpool. Whilst in Somerset, Christian Green and Ali Blaney deservedly won the 2018 Somerset Race Series and were awarded their prizes after the final race at Brent Knoll, with others gaining age category or top ten awards. Philip Bridge ran away with victory at the local race in an impressive exhibition of front running as he trains hard for a Spring Marathon.Read on for XC Championship arrangements and Social news, including a final call for Bog seat nominations.

Andy Piper and Tom Dukes both received their long-awaited Yeovilton 5k Series awards for top V50 and top V40 runners this week. Meanwhile a squad of Harriers ran well at the tough Drogo 10 on the edge of Dartmoor on Sunday; and a number of Harriers are gearing up for the final race in the Somerset Race Series at Brent Knoll on Sunday, with others going to compete at the next round of the British Challenge XC races on Saturday in Liverpool. Good Luck especially to Oliver Fox who is looking to gain selection (again) for TeamGB for the forthcoming European XC Championships.

Jon James accelerated away from the leading group on the final lap to win the November 2018 edition of the Street 5k in a time of 16.35, with fellow Wells City Harrier Zak Hurrell closest in 16.40. Whilst last years’s Queen of the Street Series, Helen Southcott’s 18.50 gained her victory for the women’s section, with Harrier Zoe Kurle next home. The incentive of gaining a bottle of local Cider/Apple juice by running 15 seconds quicker than last month proved popular! For the juniors Owen Dukes, in the 2k, again ran to victory with Michael Eames 1st in the 1k and Alice King winning for the girls (again). All results now available below.
