Robin Tuddenham warmed up for the Garstang Half Marathon on Sunday, by finishing in first place at the Heaton Parkrun on Saturday covering the 5k course in 16:48.
The relentless rain overnight on Saturday led to flooding on the half marathon course and the race was shortened to 11.75 miles with the Todmorden man finishing in 9th place in a time of 1:08:55.
Bohuslav Barlow and Ian Stansfield also completed the Saturday Parkrun at Heaton Park, whilst Richard Butterwick and Myra Wells plumped for the Oldham Parkrun. After leading for the first kilometre, Richard was unable to hold onto the lead to make it a double win for the club and had to settle for 2nd place.
Richard and Myra then took on the very wet Boggart Hole Chase 10k on Sunday at Moston. Richard completed the hilly course in 43:32 with Myra finishing just past the hour mark.
The Rombald’s Romp Trail Race took place on Saturday at Ilkley Moor. This is rather a unique race, in that the runners did not find out the course route until they arrived. Even the length was a mystery, knowing in advance only that it would be between 6 and 9 miles.
Harriers Julie Wyant and Darren Graham both completed what turned out to be just over seven miles in 1 hour 17 minutes.
Colin Duffield and Elise Milnes knew exactly how far they would be travelling, at the High Peak 40, a 40 mile ultra race that follows a circular route through the Peak District from Buxton. Colin completed the tough challenge in 8 hours and 26 minutes with Elise finishing in 10 hours 13 minutes.
On Wednesday, James Riley led the way for the Harriers at the Derek Howarth and Arthur Walsham 5k at Cowm Reservoir, held to celebrate the 80th birthdays of the two veteran athletes, both of whom are still racing. James finished in 15th place in a time of 19:55, half a minute ahead of Richard Butterwick in 17th place. Myra Wells finished in 56th and Ian Stansfield in 31:22.
