It seems that whilst your reporter sits silently and alone in the empty mansion that is Chez Cavillator, may of you Harriers are out there running with your better halves. In this week of weddings and couples, just remember, if you have someone who gives you the same feeling you get when you see your…
Well, after all the excitement of the Belfast marathon and relays, this week was a bit quieter. No doubt you, like me, were just spending the week getting physically and emotionally ready for the Eurovision song contest. Never mind marathons, if you want to see humankind at its finest, going above and beyond the limits…
Taps Aff! The week started with the now traditional drenching of the first night of the club’s latest C25k scheme but ended in the sunshine with the many achievements of the Harriers at the Belfast marathon. More of that later but first the results from Friday & Saturday. NI Running Mile Almost 200 runners headed…
The sun decided to stay with us for another week and so plenty of you headed out to the many events now on offer in the lighter nights. A results writer’s dream…. First up was Wednesday’s Purple Ladies 5k: Suzanne Brennan 23:52 Thursday night was the turn of the juniors with the latest Lagan Valley…
I’ve spent months complaining about snow and ice and now I’m burnt to a crisp. Never happy us runners. Too cold, too hot, too windy, too hilly, too early, too many.

A busy week for the Harriers as the lighter nights allowed us to start getting some mid-week running in again.

Sharon Dunn 40:04, Suzanne “not a 5k PB in it” Brennan 40:04PB, Sarah…
This week, Easter put its bonnet on and tried to rain and blow us off the roads before changing its mind and giving us a wee bit of sunshine for our parkruns and Titanic running. First up is the Whitehead 5 mile Road Race on Easter Monday. Braving the tropical Easter weather were: Alan Ladd…
Looks as if the committee will have to get the builders in at the Hub as we have once again expanded our Headers Department. But more of that later. Couple of results from last week to catch up on: 5k Rabbit Run @ Hazelbank: Fiona Wylie 29:06, Jennifer McCoppin 29:28, Duncan Baxter 30:45, Freda Stubbs…
You people are trying to kill me! mid-week racing, parkruns, half marathons, charity runs, international trail races…. The sun is finally shining again but I’m sitting here in my large but lonely Romanesque villa stuck to my keyboard all day. The racing started early this week with the flat and fast Queens 5k and 3k…
A visit into the lion’s den, a feat of physical endurance but ultimately, victory and eternal glory. Yes, I managed to go to the pub in the afternoon, drink 3 pints and live to tell the tale. Think the rugby was on in the background too. Valley parkrun: Lee-Anne Hutchinson 29:55, Clare Teer 38:31 Waterworks…
