Preston Harriers' fell running section . Some of our fell runners also do cross country and road running, but fell running is our main activity. Our junior fell runners are in a keen fell running section, you can read about them in juniorfellblog below. Preston Harriers running club was established in 1881. Mick McLoughlin our chairman of fellblog recently did the Bob Graham Round. Fell Runners are not as much bothered about PB's as they are about 3B's ( a local brewery).

 JUNIOR WINTER LEAGUE RACES 2006   

 

 

I've stuck this here from Karen Nash, I need a bit of advice on whether we've missed some reports or shall I open a new page for each of the results?

Update on the Kendal Winter Series

This series of 12 fell races - every Sunday for 12 weeks starting in Jan is great. The league takes your best 10 which is a bit of a tall order given colds, injuries and other activities but it is very low key and friendly. Last year we did a few and this year we decided to do as many as we could, but still orienteer etc as well.

matthew had moved up an age and is with big under 14's but still loves iit. Chris at 10 is still an under 10 but a bit more competetive than last year.

The first two races are billed as rough cross country- a bit fast and flat. They also draw in some speed merchants. We had been away skiing whilst the Helm Hill crowd that organise it had been training hard.

We have all shown a steady improvement over the first

4 races.

Watch this space.... we are not running it this

weekend-- the male 3 are orienteering and Karen is in a fell relay but we will do more. The numbers have already dwindled a little after the very big entry at the first race. If it is fine in a week or so I'll try for some photos. I think I have some from fairmile so I'll try to send them to you.

 		Keeping abreast with our Fell Runnners

Lots of fell runners break away from their original running clubs, mainly because they have no interest in track & field, fell running being their main interest. The fell running section of our club decided to have their own website, probably for the same reason. Now a V70, George Arnold is our oldest active fell runner. There are a few more of us close behind! One of our top female road runners, whilst marshalling recently at Chipping Show Fell Race commented on just how friendly fell runners are.

Preston Harriers Fell Section :-  FELLBLOG  is the proud fell running section of the famous Preston Harriers Athletic Club. Our athletic club has been around for well over a hundred years. We like to call it famous because it is what Brendan Foster calls us on BBC athletic programmes. We are well represented in Track & Field presently by our pride & joy, Helen Clitheroe.  We also have some accomplished road runners. Our Fell runners are a mixed bunch of beer drinkers, most fell runners seem to be like that! We do run lots of races, as can be seen in the site itself. We have a world record holder Pete Benson, you can read about his feat inside. We are pleased that you have visited our website, which of course is mainly about fell running. If you want to see more about the club, you can visit our main site. Click here
