Sedgefield Harriers are keen to organise a Network (Ch-le-St vs Derwentside vs DCH vs Sedgefield) 5k and 3k competition in a midweek Wed in August. They would like to know if there is any interest. Events would be sen/vet mens 5k, sen/vet womens 5k, u17 men's 3k and u17 women's 3k. Aim is to encourage road/cross country runners onto the track to try it out in a fun competition. There would be an overall team competition with points for each event.

Any interest?

Regards

I am currently unable to find info on this event, however if anyone is interested in running then please register your interest here or on the list at maiden castle. It is a 4 man relay of 2.2m each leg. The club do not subsidise this event therefore each runner will have to pay an entry fee which was £4 last year.

I will post accurate details when I have them.

One change from previous years is that the club is now recognizing the achievements of competitors from a wider range of ages groups and both genders. As such the club will be presenting awards in the following categories:
Senior Female (up to 39)
Senior Male (up to 39)
Veteran Female (40+)
Veteran Male (40-59)
V60 Male (60+)

Entry is a very reasonable £8, with an extra £2 for bus link.
Please not that there are no online entries, there are no entries on the day, and postal entries close on 24th August, so if you want that free Jelly Tea, yo need to get your entry posted off ASAP.
Entry forms are available from Tynedale Harriers website, and are available from the notice board at Maiden Castle.]]> dave*masterman Road Running Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:11:13 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1985,1985#msg-1985 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1985,1985#msg-1985
Building on our success from last year, where we managed to get a men's team out at Hartlepool, we are aiming even higher for 2009 and our ambition is to have at least two men's teams as well as at least one women's team, with the ultimate aim of qualifying for the National Road Relays in October.
By having more than one men's team, it provides the opportunity for runners new to this type of competition to 'have a go' without the added pressure of trying to qualify for the Nationals. I've only taken part in one myself, but it's a great event, with a good team spirit. If you're not sure what it's all about, it involves each team racing around a road circuit, with each team's no.1 runners setting off first, then passing over to no.2 runner on completion of their leg, then to no.3 etc, with the finishing time taken when no.6 runner finishes.

Ian Crampton will be putting up a signing-up sheet on the notice board, so if you are up for it either sign-up on the sheet, post a reply on here, or contact myself or Ian directly. If you want to have a go, but would prefer to take part as a member of the 'B' team, feel free to state that, otherwise the team managers will decide.

To make the race more accessible, the club are looking into the feasibility (and cost) of providing subsidised coach transport, so it would be helpful to get an idea of potential numbers sooner rather than later, then we can formalise the arrangements and publicise them. (Obviously runners would not be obliged to travel on the 'team coach').

Durham City Harriers have the ability to put on a great team performance and qualify for the Nationals, so please support your club on 26th September.]]> dave*masterman Road Running Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:35:46 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1967,1967#msg-1967 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1967,1967#msg-1967 BigZ Road Running Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:43:42 +0100 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1965,1965#msg-1965 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1965,1965#msg-1965 'Air Products Sunderland 5k Road Race' will be hosting our Club 5k Road Race Championships on Wednesday July 22nd at 19.15. This is the first of the Club Road Race Championships in 2009, and it would be great to see an excellent turn-out of orange-vested DCHarriers on this fast and flat course. If you aren't able to race, why not come along and support your fellow DCH runners?

As an added incentive, and in an attempt to improve participation and be more inclusive, the club will be formally recognising the achievements of DCH competitors at this race distance for the first time. Therefore the club will be introducing brand new awards, for various categories across the age range, for both men and women.

It is well marshalled, run over 2.5 loops inside the park, uses the wide paths around the perimeter, starts at 9.00, and you get the results published online same day. I did my first one a few weeks ago and i can highly recommend it. They encourage runners of all abilities, and there were a record 99 runners when i did it, so no huge crowds to contend with. The runners have use of the visitor centre / cafe, so there are toilets (no changing rroms) and somewhere for a cuppa / chat afterwards. Alternatively you can go feed the ducks. Or play on the slides.(:D

In the absence of find a half marathon or flat 10 mile race. the Clartyman's suggestion was the Sanddancer 10k on Sunday 5th April. However, give that the last Harrier league is on 28th March, my last opiton for a really lonf run is on the weekend 4th/5th April.

I'm therefore thinking about the Mermaid 10k on Friday 10th (Good Friday) - it's only 16 days before the marathon, but then again it's only 10k.

What thoughts does anyone else have on the wisdon of racing 10k so close to the marathon? (Come on Mr Abbotts - I'm sure you have some wisdom to share!) I have traditionally worked no the principle that it takes 1 day for every long run or race mile I run to get of of my system during a tapering period, i.e. I will not run beyond 21 miles three weeks before, 14 miles two weeks before or 7 ( to 8) miles the weekend before.]]> BigZ Road Running Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:46:27 +0000 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1657,1657#msg-1657 http://www.durhamcityharriers.org.uk/Forum/read.php?12,1657,1657#msg-1657 barrycornelius.com website.
It's a nice flat out-and-back course (similar to last years 6-stage course), but at £8 is a bit pricey. It's good for a 5 mile PB (:D, especially as there aren't many 5 mile races in the area.
Race HQ is at the 'Historic Quay' and it starts at 10.30 on Sunday 5th April, which is the first weekend of the school easter holidays.
Prizes (unspecified) for 1st 5 males and 5 females, then 1st o40, o45, o50, o55, o60, o65, o70, o80 men, 1st o35, o40, o45, o50, o55, o60, o65 women.
