A weekend of epic sport that saw the Wimbledon Men’s Final and the Cricket World Cup Final both go to extra-time also saw some mammoth performances from members of our humble little running club (and I’m not taking about the Prosecco crew at the PubRun). Well done everyone that got out this weekend, when most of us were preoccupied on …

Gade Valley Harriers isn’t just a running club, it also has a triathlon sector, and on Sunday two multi-sport enthusiasts took part in the Pitsford Standard Distance Tri in Northamptonshire.

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 …

Another bank holiday weekend meant an extra day for members of Gade Valley Harriers to compete in races and running events of various distances in locations all around the UK.
