As our thoughts turn to next years running events, I thought I would highlight the Edinburgh Marathon Festival as one for your list. I know several of you have done this one before and all speak very highly of it. Take a look. https://www.edinburghmarathon.com/events/marathon/
Tuesday was a club session – Paarlauf session at Gosforth. Thursday’s club session was 20 out, 18 back. However earlier in the day, there had been the Great Run Local Quayside. I understand it takes place at 12.45pm outside the Pitcher and Piano. Although I am registered, I can’t see results as I didn’t actually run – so if you want shouts outs, you will have to let me know Continue Reading →
Monday started with a bit of glitz and glamour for a couple of our Harriers.

Jordon was awarded 3rd male and Lisa 4th female and 3rd female in the throws festival. Fabulous achievement guys! Tuesday was club training night – remember to wear your Continue Reading →

Saturday had lots going on and we will start with parkrun. 39 Heaton Harriers ran at 8 different parkruns on Saturday and for a change, they were all in the UK!

So I am guessing that Monday was a recovery run day for a lot of people. Tuesday was club training – probably our last evening session at Rising Sun as the nights are getting darker sooner. Huge turnout with many wearing their well deserved GNR t-shirts; we did Figure of 8’s. Tough after GNR! Thursday was club training again. Saturday was parkrun day – that said, I didn’t run but Continue Reading →
Monday saw 13 runners head to West Street to complete the monthly mile – see separate post for more info. There was a slight amendment to the start time to allow runners to frantically sit in a cyber queue to secure places in the Brass Monkey road race. Well done to all those who were fortunate enough to get a place. Tuesday was club training – 400’s at George Stephenson Continue Reading →
Bank Holiday Monday – what a lovely day for a run. A group of us met at Rising Sun for a 5 mile social run, with a few also gathering afterwards for a coffee. Running, conversation and coffee are a perfect match. Can not believe that was over a week ago. Over at Gateshead Stadium there was the Tartan Games taking place. Representing the club was James Meader, Calum Mills, Continue Reading →
Tuesday was the Club’s 3k time trail. Starting at Crossling’s Corner. Great turnout and a strong effort by everyone.

Saturday and we headed to parkrun to swelter in the sun. 59 Heaton Harrier’s ran in 11 different parkruns, with many more volunteering. This week we were active at: Continue Reading →
Tuesday was club training night for many. Wednesday saw a ‘swarm’ of 33 Heaton Harriers head to the Quayside for the Gateshead Harriers Quayside 5K.

I have also been informed that the following achieved PB’s: – Beth Lawry, Abi Timms, Mark Best, Aidan Batey, Laura Smith and Julie Ellis. Brilliant effort. James Meader Continue Reading →
Monday saw the last fixture of the season for NEEMA at Monkton. This series has been well supported by a few and those few who ran, jumped and threw for the club have done us proud. Throughout the series there has been some amazing individual and team performances with many achieving PB’s, records were broken and ultimately Heaton Harrier’s women finished 3rd in their league and the men finished 5th.
