Well, if you have read the Men’s Vet’s blog, I have explained in detail how the scoring system for the Vet’s works (if you haven’t read it and have no idea how the scoring works, I suggest you do, it’ll…
During this PECO campaign I have been asked so many times by so many people ‘How does the Vet’s team scoring actually work?’ Hopefully, during part 3 of the history of PECO blog we’ll answer that very question. How does…
If we oversimplified the Men’s team story, we could characterise it as one of steady progression culminating in a team that solidly finishes 3rd to 5th in the Premier division (of course with highs and lows along the way). So,…
In the run up to the latest edition of PECO I thought I would do a brief history of how the club has been doing in the competition over the years, telling you the story of the highs and lows…

The 4th round of the PECO XC saw 48 Harriers (28 men and 20 ladies) head to Barnbow fields to continue there fight to stay up, or there push for promotion. There has been something missing at the first 3…
While my personal running has gone from strength to strength, there has been a contrasting undercurrent of failure. Just like a duck on a pond – on top everything was going smoothly, but underneath the ducks legs were in serious…
The 3rd round of the PECO XC saw the clubs arriving at West Park for an approx. 5.2 mile course. It also doubled up as the final round of the HPH Off Road championship. It was our best turn out…
Round 2 of the PECO series and again not too much mud, saw the runners taking on the fields, paths and woods of Middleton Park. Again there was new faces and returning runners including Paul Whitehurst who was running 2nd…
