With XC over for another season and the road races starting, a new committee was voted in and Alan Ladd and Laura Rose were the lucky Harriers who became vice male and female captains. I would like to thank Danny and Tiffany Donaldson for all their help last year in writing the runner of the…
Cav has taken a well-deserved holiday this week, clearly anticipating a huge amount of running to report on this weekend, or perhaps the weather. Either way, they have handed over the reins temporarily to keep you all up to date with this week’s running news. Starting with parkrun: Waterworks Claire McCann 29:36 Victoria: Alan Ladd…
