Another great Harriers Ceilidh last night with very energetic dancing and lots of laughs, many thanks to everyone who attended.  The Whiskey & Sweetie Jar game raised £80 for the Beeslack Malawi Fund and the 50/50 game raised £52 – … Continue reading →

Suggested by Bill, this was a new hill race for the Gran Prix. However, I think the 2 hour drive to south of Dumfries put many Harriers off and so only 5 intrepid harriers braved the mizzly weather and my … Continue reading →

This was a first for me and a very enjoyable race. It starts at Ocean Terminal (Eye of the tiger blasting out the speakers to get you hyped before the race :-)) and ends at Murrayfield stadium. It was great … Continue reading →

The weather was pretty rainy particularly early in the day and this made it quite muddy under foot in places. The changeovers went well and everyone was in the right place at the right time. We decided to go for … Continue reading →

I ran this race with my 2 sons and we raised £60 for diabetes UK. The emphasis was on fun and many people were wearing santa hats with some even decked out in a full costume. There were also some … Continue reading →

Great little race to raise money for Cystinosis Foundation UK (around £1000 was raised). There was a half marathon, a 10k and a 5K, in the gorgeous country side around West Linton. The weather was great, a little on the … Continue reading →

So another cracking afternoon for cross country this time in Peebles. Not sure what happened to the sun that was sitting over Penicuik all morning but it was a tad cloudy in Peebles, but mild and ideal conditions for a … Continue reading →
