Race Report: The OCC 2018 – 56.5 km of trails through Switzerland and France
A big thank you to Owen Kimber for this write up of his OCC adventure. – When it was suggested that I write a “race” report after completing the OCC at the end of August, my initial reaction is that it wasn’t really a “race” for me – I didn’t have a time target, I […]
Farley Heath MABAC (18 December)
Last Sunday saw the final fixture of the 2018 MABAC calendar taking place at Farley Heath.

Queen Elizabeth XC Results (SCCL)
We had what might be a record turnout at the recent cross country race at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, with 32 enthusiastic Harriers donning their trail shoes and conquering the hills and slippery chalk paths that made up the 5(ish) miles of the course. The men’s team came 4th and the women’s 6th, which overall […]

On The Spot – Dan Burton
When did running begin for you? I have my brother to blame for this. He forced me to go running with him once after sixth-form and I’ve not stopped since. Why do you run? Escapism – it’s a great way to unwind. Plus, if I run, I can eat what I like! What race or […]

Waverley Harriers at the River Relays
Early on a Sunday morning several weeks ago a merry(ish) band of (ten) Waverley Harriers assembled for our debut entry in the ‘River Relay’ event organised by the Stragglers Running Club. The event is a mini version of the Green Belt Relay, which does away with a complete circumnavigation of London, instead focusing on (probably) […]
