Wells City Harrier members of all ages have been competing across all formats of the sport this past month and over all distances from 60m on the track to 100+ miles off-road! With an age range in the Club from almost 8 years old to 80+ years, there's something for all members in this report.
We have the round up from Day 2 of the Somerset County AA Track & Field Championships where some of our age 9-19 year old members competed and virtually all of the juniors, mainly from our Monday night training group came away with medals, many of them Gold and/or set new personal bests.
We also feature the real endurance side of the Club which a number of the seniors have traditionally been interested in, with Sam Harvey's report of his 100 mile run along the Thames Towpath, and Oli Frost's recount of the Great Lakeland 3-day event.
Coincidentally, there is also news from one of our Hon Life Members who has recently published his book on his amazing endurance running for Charity. His epic runs were very ably supported by many of the Harriers.
Last call also for entries to this Sunday's Wells Festival of Running with races for all ages. Entry link here and entries can also be made on the day. Suitable for all abilities - enjoy the run and then join the Harriers!
