It was another great weekend for the all-conquering Glossopdale Babes who are enjoying unprecedented success just now. Pride of place must go to XC Captain Kirsty Johnson who clinched victory in the SOUTH-EAST LANCS XC LEAGUE SERIES at Boggart Hole Clough. She powered away from her nearest rivals on the first lap and finished strongly 30 seconds clear …
Lovely weather this weekend. Hail. Snow. Sun. Wind. You name it, we seem to have run in it. Saturday was mainly the domain of the Park runners, with a fair few battling against the elements in Lyme park. There was quite a performance from Alan Schoefield with his first ever 5k, hitting sub 24mins. Others …
Overall results for this years Manchester Area cross country league. Although a few of us got to a couple of the events, there were only a very special few that did enough to get a placing. Good effort you guys. Women 20-34 equal 6th Kirsty Johnson Women 35-39 3rd Zoe Barton Women 45-49 7th Lindsay …
A busy weekend, what with a well attended XC, and a few races around the country. At the Manchester XC the GDH cohort seem to have had a fantastic time, it was the last one of the series (I think), and there is the added complication of people’s overall series finishing positions, which I have …

Official results not out yet. Jud Hirst ran the Grizedale Half Marathon in freezing conditions – and the race …
Continuing a long(?) tradition of travelling down to the wilds of Shropshire and the land of no phone signal every February, a jolly batch of Harriers headed south to run the entertaining double of Titterstone Clee and Long Mynd Valleys. A lung burner on one day, followed by rest and recuperation in a pub, and …
This weekend was a good one in terms of different things going on, what with XC, the Shropshire away weekend, and one of our stalwarts, Mark Ollerenshaw, making his seemingly annual pilgrimage to Wadsworth Trog. Mark did excellently, coming in 6th overall, in a time of 2:48:10. 153 ran.

Four harriers travelled to a remarkably snow-free Heaton Park to race in the SOUTH-EAST LANCS CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUE penultimate counter. On a sunny and as pleasant a day as you can get in January, Caity won her first ladies only race and also became the first ever Glossopdale Harrier to win a cross-country. Special mentions also for great runs by …
