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.
