At the weekend (17th November) there was some good running by the Harrier’s Membership Secretary, Alice Knight, and the Club Secretary, Paul Chadwick, when they competed at the challenging but very scenic Drogo 10 mile multi-terrain race which started and finished by the National Trust’s Castle Drogo, near Okehampton, Devon. The race sees competitors running through the woodland and valley, alongside the scenic river, adjacent to the Castle - which was, incidentally, the last Castle built in England! In the field of 600 runners Alice finished in 305th position in 1.43 whilst Paul was 209th in 1.34. Former member Lucy Heath also had a great run for 198th in 1.33. Read on for news about the Somerset Series, the Club's Annual Dinner and the London Marathon places ballot.

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.
