Wells Fun Run - Bank Holiday Sunday running for all ages!

There was a terrific turn out for the 14th edition (*) of the Wells Fun Runs, organised by a local committee supported by Wells City Harriers. The morning started with warm sunshine but saw a drizzly interlude happen whilst the two lap 10k race was underway. Proceedings started with some enthusiastic running by the under 8s over an 800m course and finished with the 10k. All the races finished by the Bishops Palace and the Bishop of Bath & Wells blessed the 10k race with his presence.

Nathan Young & Joanna Carritt were victors in the 10k race whilst Bishop Peter was rewarded with a 10k personal best. Our thanks to all the sponsors, marshals, officials , and the Lord Mayor of Wells for helping make the event go so smoothly. Biggest thanks, as ever though, to Julia Dukes, Lynne Elstob and Sharon Bowles of the Harriers for coordinating everything so well. Read on for a report and link to results.

Wells City Harriers had a number of runners at this year's London Marathon.
Amongst the record start list of over 40,000 runners, the 8 Harriers taking part included a number making their debut at the distance. Well done to George, Alison, Sharon, Keith, Kelly, Rosie, Damien and Ben. Good funds for various charities were also raised by many of their runs. (Photos to follow). Meanwhile the storms played havoc with the County multi-events Championships at Millfield track, but a number of good performances by Harry, Jamie & Ollie were registered on the quieter 2nd day. & a call for members to volunteer to marshal at the Wells Fun Run.
