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).

Stanhill Junior & Senior Fell Race 2006
Report
on Stanhill Junior & Senior Fell Race Not
my favourite fell race as it is rather short and fast, with a very fast finish
down the lane. However there was a junior race and Matthew was keen.
The Start (As seen also in "The Harrier" June issue) The junior race goes up the lane, onto the green lane and then to just beyond the crest of the hill before turning round and coming back the same way.
The Finish. Matthew & Colin both running well Matthew
was pleased to see Andrew Harrison and had a good chat with the Rossendale boys.
The rain held off for their race and it was not long before we could see them
returning. Matthew got overtaken on the lane but was pleased with his 3rd
place. He was even more pleased his race ws early when he saw what the weather
did next. I
was beginning to regret my early entry. My legs were tired from Sunday and the
weather promised to be foul. It was – shortly into the race it got windy,
rained hard and then there was hail and lightning. The pace up the lane was fast
and furious but the speed merchants soon got slowed up as we moved onto a very
flooded and uneven fell side. It wasn’t a night for records but it was one to
relish sploshing through the mud and puddles! I was pleased with 3rd
lady and even more pleased to be back in a dry warm pub with a bowl of chips. A
shame more Karen

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 |
