Sunday 9th October saw the 4th running of the Yorkshire marathon. A big event for many of the harriers but non more so than our very own marathon man Phil Hammond. On the start line with number 100 pinned to…
These days I don’t seem to blog about anything other than holidays or running…the craft has taken a bit of a backseat. Even so I’ve not updated since last August, but then again this is the first time since then…
It’s home to Amsterdam’s most expensive hotel room at £8,000 a night, a members-only club, €15 gin and tonics, and panoramic views of the city. Last Sunday, Hyde Park Harriers introduced Leeds (1am Sunday morning) to the exclusive Amsterdam Tower…
Round 7 of the club Road championship for this year was something a little different. Ok so it wasn’t really road but a track mile was to be a challenge that 17 Harriers (14 men, 3 ladies) took the chance to…
The Ikano Bank Robin Hood half marathon in Nottingham on Sunday 25th September provided me with an opportunity to visit my old stomping ground from my University days but, perhaps more importantly, a chance to get in some good miles…
When one signs up to a half marathon in a Scandinavian country in mid-September, the last thing one expects is 20 degrees and blue skies on the day! Needless to say, the excuses I made last week that the Great…
So I’d only landed in the USA 24 hours ago before finding this gem of a running club in Columbus, Indiana. I popped into the white river running club after work to find out about some good local running routes before…
The history of this Fell Race can be traced back to the 1870’s. Along with the Pet Show, and Guess the Weight of the Sheep competition, the race is a major event in the Burnsall Feast Sports Day which started in…
Starting just outside Timble Village, near Otley, Round Hill is a 14km run over Blubberhouses Moor. The race passes through a wood, before the boggy, undulating climb up to Round Hill at 409m. A fast downhill section through Black Hill…
For the first time in 2016 we were hoping that the temperature would drop as the time of the race start drew closer. Luckily after the two hottest days of the year, cloud covered the Calder Valley for the 3rd…
Forget the Tour de France, the European Championships and Finals day at Wimbledon, ignore the Open Championship and disregard the Olympics, the true sporting highlight of the summer took place this weekend over field and through meadow on a country…
And so started my morning at the Plymouth Aquathlon. After explaining that yes, it is a long way from London to Plymouth, but it’s even further from Leeds, and no, there aren’t many beaches around Leeds to practice a sea…
A busy HPH racing week, with 2 relay events, and a number of people taking part in the Leeds 10km last Sunday. These races were bookended by 2 HPH Fell Championship races at Baildon Carnival and Oxenhope Village Fete. Baildon…
The first two weekends in June were excellent for sport in Leeds with the Olympic trials in race walking and the World Triathlon series closing the city down. What was even better is that we had HPH colours out at…
Those of you who know our marathon man Phil Hammond will know that at the Yorkshire Marathon this year it will be his 100th Marathon. To get there he still had plenty of work to do starting with the Great…
Another great Summer Mile has come and gone, and was a great success. It was sold out well in advance, the rain stopped in time and the food was well received as always. Many thanks to all the Harriers and…
Many thanks to Diane Aykroyd for this excellent report – I decided to join Clare, Jaz and Sue to run the Liverpool HM and after an eventful year for at least one of us the decision was taken to run…
Many thanks to Chris Smith for sending in the below. The Vets race series hasn’t had many Harriers taking part so far but they are good cheap fun events. Vets races reports West park vets (24/5/16) was its usual fun…
Despite some early season fixture congestion, 9 Hyde Park Harriers tackled the 40th Chevin Fell Race. Only £4 to enter on the day, this race has been a staple of the HPH Fell Championships since 2012. Less than 5km in…
