As 24 in 24 came to a close, it left July to prep for the best road race in the land. While some Harriers were in full force with the organisation, others were sitting back and relaxing with a beer or ten in sunny holiday destinations. Paul Skillen was nominated for his efforts and encouragement…

Like the Runner of the month report there was a few nominations for May that will be carried over to next month. A number of harriers…
