Chris Dowling’s epic Wendover Woods 100
I’ve been asked to waffle on a bit about last month’s 100 mile jog round Wendover Woods. This one-off event was dreamt up by the always brilliant Centurion Running in response to popular demand (Facebook) calling for a 100 mile version of their regular Wendover 50 mile race. Centurion ultras always sell out (sometimes within hours) so it was worrying to see only 45 entrants out …
Weekly press report – 1 Sep 2019
After the majority of Gade Valley Harriers took a much needed break from racing for the bank holiday weekend, it was back to business as usual this weekend with a large number of club members competing in local events, with athletes securing category position wins and picking up PBs (personal bests). A huge contingent of Harriers took part in the …
Weekly press report – 12 May 2019
Well done everyone who raced over the weekend. I’ll add in Halstead official times if/when I get them…. Gade Valley Harriers were in action up and down the country once again for another busy weekend of racing, with Saturday’s cool showers and sunny spells giving way to hot sunny conditions on Sunday. It started with a 50km ultra-marathon around some …

THE DEVIL’S CHALLENGE – 97 MILES IN 3 DAYS by Anita Berwick
The Devil’s Challenge – 4th-6th May 2019 Day 1 When competing in an Ultra the one thing you do think of is whether you’ve done enough training. This was definitely going through my mind as I was heading to the start line of the Devil’s challenge. I had done the long back to back runs, the early morning runs when …
Mar 2019: Helen Heathcote
As you will know, we held three extremely successful MTRs and these were coordinated and managed by Helen. March’s run saw over 500 aspiring marathon runners take part and compliments were plentiful including “excellent organisation” and “fantastically marshalled”. There was a lot of preparation that went on behind the scenes which resulted in the club making an essential income. As …
Mar 2019: Simon Wallis
March’s member of the month does vast amounts for the club on a weekly basis. His role takes up huge amounts of time and effort and it is often a thankless task but he does it fabulously well. He spends hours each week looking at results, writing reports, putting up events coming ahead along with fantastic monthly summaries of all …
Phil’s marathon track session
April is spring marathon season and a focus for many runners’ training cycles. Me? I’m not really a fan of forcing myself out in the wind and rain during the long, dark winter evenings, and this year I had no plans to race in April. However, having followed up a huge marathon PB in October with a solo sub-3 days …
Feb 2019: Paul Mosley
And for the men, Hamish says: This man is a legend of the club. This award is not just about running fast or even running lots for that matter! February’s member of the month is ever present at the MTRs giving up oodles of time to help the events run smoothly. Furthermore, he turned up at the last XC match at Campbell …
