The 182nd edition of the Street 5k race on Wednesday 13th November saw Wells Harriers Ben Tickner and Daisy Davies win on a night when the rain abated in time for the race but left an added obstacle in the form of the large flooded stretch across the route towards the bottom of Farm Road. Well done to all that raced on the night, especially the intrepid group from Avon Valley Runners, and to the hard working volunteer marshals and officials who helped make sure the event went off without any mishap. Read on for the full report and link to results and to hear of the bonus on offer to all at the next (183rd) edition on Wednesday 11th December.

Well, what a busy few weeks it has been for the Harriers. Great running by Harriers at Cross-country, Mountain Marathons, Fell races and other local multi-terrain & road events. The weekend before last, (Oct 26/27) a number of intrepid Harriers were in action in Scotland in the 52nd edition of the 2-day Original Mountain Marathon with father & son duo Chris & Ben Kelsey taking top billing with their fantastic 13th place in the very tough Elite race. Closer to home, the latest Wessex Cross Country fixture this past Sunday saw 17 Harriers of all ages toe the start line and have great runs. Read on for reports from the Mendip Muddle, the Festival Run, the Shepton 10k, Leeds Abbey Dash 10k.
