HPH Summer Mile

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 our friends who helped make it such a good night with running and volunteering.

The fastest time on the night was from Adam Stacey in a very impressive 4.48.5.  The first Harrier home was George Anderson with the 7th fastest time of 5.06.4.  There was some amazing times and a lot of PB’s on what was a greasy surface.

In the Ladies Hannah Oldroyd was fastest in 5.13.0 with fastest Harrier Rachel Bourne putting in a time of 5.53.5.

The mile is a tough distance and hard to judge.  It was very interesting to see how many runners were leading there heat in the early stages only to fall away in the second lap.

In total the Harriers had 28 men and 20 ladies (including 2 race walkers) post times and scoring points in the Club competitor championship, with many more marshalling, organising and a lot doubled up to run and marshal.

Thanks to Anne Akers and Caroline Sanders
