After 6 of the 7 Kent Fitness League races Harries ladies team have a commanding lead in the league which means that they cannot now be caught in the female team standings. Many congratulations to them for winning the league once again!
The Harriers got off to a flying start in 2014 with a record 43 members taking part in the fifth event of the seven race Kent Fitness League Cross Country competition at Minnis Bay on Sunday.
Members should note that there will be no club training evenings on Tuesday 24th December,Thursday 26th December and Tuesday 31st December.
Following the relatively benign ground conditions for the first race at Sevenoaks we were treated to slightly tougher conditions for the second race at Swanley Park. Oxleas Woods looks as if it will be the most interesting and challenging yet with the 5.5 mile circuit providing a healthy mixture of uphills and downhills with some quality mud and a few fallen trees to negotiate for good measure.
Peter Hogben recorded his third 10K race victory of the year, and his second in consecutive weeks, in an outstanding PB run in the Faversham 10K on Sunday
Over 600 runners competed in the 14th staging of the Baileys Nissan Whitstable 10K road race organised by Canterbury Harriers on Monday May Bank Holiday morning. In sunny and warm conditions, with only light winds along the Tankerton and Hampton promenade sections, 29 athletes dipped under 40 minutes.
A big well done to the Harriers who took part in this year`s London Marathon. Huge crowds and a fantastic atmosphere on what turned out to be one of the warmest days of the year so far!
