HPH SUMMER PLANS 2026

  • Looking for inspiration for races to take part in over the Summer?
  • Want a chance to hang out with some new or old friends in the running community?
  • Keen to be part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of Hyde Park Harriers?

We’ve got all sorts coming up over the next few months – read on below! Links are included to entry forms/further details where relevant, just click the red text.

If you’ve got a fun idea for an HPH activity – running, social or anything else! – please drop us a line, we’d love to help make it happen!

MAY 2026

  • Sunday 24 May – HPH goes to the cricket! Buy your tickets for a T20 double header – Yorkshire vs Surrey Women (starting at 11:30am) and Yorkshire vs Derbyshire Falcons (starting at 15:30). No need to book specific seats, just get general admission and we’ll find a HPH spot in the stands on the day!
  • Sunday 31 May – Around the Park, Around the Clock
    • Returning for its sixth edition, this is Toby’s slightly crazy event in which runners take on three laps of Woodhouse Moor every hour on the hour for 12 hours – the first set starting at 8am and the final set starting at 7pm.
    • You don’t need to do all twelve hours or even all three laps of any given hour – just come down to the park and join in for as much or as little as you want!
    • You can do the laps at any pace you like, so long as you are finished and ready to start the next three laps by the time the next hour rolls around… This is not a race, it’s a test of mettle!
    • The even-numbered hours will involve clockwise laps and the odd-numbered hours will be anticlockwise – we wouldn’t want this to get boring…
    • You’re welcome to do this solo or in teams. You’re also welcome to do a few laps and drop in and out at will, or just come along and spectate/heckle.
    • This is a completely free event and is in no way a regulated or authorised – we’re just a bunch of idiots running around a park all day! If you take part, you’re doing so at your own risk – please make sure you bring adequate food, drinks and warm, dry layers.
    • Feel free to bring along any crazy friends who might enjoy it!

JUNE 2026

  • Wednesday 24 June – HPH Summer Mile (in the HPH Summer League) – this is our own race and we’ll need lots of volunteers to make it happen. If you’re able to help (and bear in mind the heat format means that you’ll be able to volunteer as well as take part in the race), please fill in this form.

JULY 2026

  • Saturday 11 July – HPH 20th Anniversary Celebration and Awards Evening – check back soon for more details…
  • Tuesday 14 July – Golden Acre Relay – join the HPH WhatsApp community and the specific Golden Acre Relay chat to co-ordinate your team of three!
