A wine tasting tour doesn’t usually involve breaking into a sweat, but when you have to run a couple of miles between each drinks station, in fancy dress, it becomes a whole different experience as nine ladies from Gade Valley Harriers discovered on Sunday when they travelled to England’s largest vineyard in search of one of the year’s more fun …
Well done to Andy Cook, Helen Cook and Gareth Tucker for completing your 100th ParkRun this weekend, and to Bill Hawes who broke his own Gadebridge Park ParkRun MV50 club record at the same event. Also to Teresa Reason who was first female at the South Downs Midnight Marathon last night. ParkRuns are timed 5km events which take place every …
Another weekend of unsettled weather was not going to dampen the spirits of the handful of Gade Valley Harriers that had planned to compete in races. Dave Goodman, Susie Ivin and Helen Heathcote have amassed 90 marathons between them and on Sunday they were taking part in the 5,4,3,2,1 trail runs in Wiltshire – a series of events which offer …
Gade Valley Harriers had a large turnout at a local 10k event on Sunday and also had members competing in the UKs biggest mass-participant cycling event, and a long distance triathlon. The main action was at the Aylesbury Rugby Club for the Bearbook 10k, which treated runners to almost perfect race conditions – the polar opposite to recent weekends of …
Every year Gade Valley Harriers put on a Learn to Run course for non-runners, with the intent of getting them to be able to run 5km after just ten weeks. This year’s course was completed a couple of weeks ago and culminated in a 5k loop around the local area where they were met with warm applause from some more …
Nice quiet weekend this weekend. Well done Peter Tucker and David Goodman for flying the GVH flag today. Most people don’t get round to running a marathon in their entire lives, and most don’t run races virtually every weekend, but Gade Valley Harriers’ Peter Tucker and Dave Goodman aren’t most people. Tucker travelled just a few miles across the county …
A weekend of epic sport that saw the Wimbledon Men’s Final and the Cricket World Cup Final both go to extra-time also saw some mammoth performances from members of our humble little running club (and I’m not taking about the Prosecco crew at the PubRun). Well done everyone that got out this weekend, when most of us were preoccupied on …
Gade Valley Harriers isn’t just a running club, it also has a triathlon sector, and on Sunday two multi-sport enthusiasts took part in the Pitsford Standard Distance Tri in Northamptonshire. Both Harriers started strongly with Dylan Wendleken being the first entrant from his start wave to complete the 1500 metres swim in the beautiful Pitsford Reservoir, and Sian Shaw made …
It was a quieter than usual weekend for Gade Valley Harriers as recent rainy conditions gave way to searing heat and record breaking temperatures. On Sunday, Peter Tucker travelled to Warwickshire to take part in the Compton Verney Half Marathon, which is based on the 120 acres of stunning parkland and lakes which surround an historic manor, before heading along …
