Wells City Harrier members were out in force at the 3rd of this season's Wessex Cross Country League matches last Sunday (4th November) and there were again victories for the two Daisy's & Ben and also for Ollie at this race. Meanwhile on the same day, at the 'Gilly Hilly' road race, Philip ran to victory almost 2 minutes ahead of 2nd place. Get ready for the season's 2nd Street 5k this coming Wednesday, 14th November - all that improve their October 5k time by at least 15 seconds gain a bottle of Bullbeggar Cider or Lamyatt Apple Juice! If any Harrier who isn't running can contact Race Director Ed Tickner before the night to offer their volunteering time for the marshalling or finish line duties that would be appreciated - all Harriers or parents of juniors are expected to volunteer at least once during the season for this Club organised event.
u13s up & running!
Cold weather snap but Harriers keep on running - at the OMM, on the Blackdowns; and in Venice.

Wells City Harriers had members out competing at some tough long distance events this past weekend. Given the change in the weather that set in, this was quite a challenge. Some members were taking part in this year’s 2 day Original Mountain Marathon (OMM) in the Black Mountains, South Wales; others at the Herepath ‘Half’ on the Blackdowns and another at the Venice Marathon, which was partly underwater! Last call also for Annual Dinner bookings and nominations for the fabled Harrier bog seat now requested.

Harriers made the most of the unseasonably warm conditions of last weeekend when there were a number of standout performances at the 2nd of the Wessex League fixtures and some good efforts also at the tough Exmoor Stagger. At Lytchett Minster we had two Daisy Davies winners! - first in the u11 girls race and then by her namesake in the u17 womens race; and the Harriers also provided the winners of the senior races when Ben Lloyd (still an u20) and new Harrier Helen Southcott both won in great style! Get registered for the 3rd fixture in this League by contacting Graham asap. Meanwhile at the Exmoor Stagger, three of the Harrier senior men were out competing in the latest round of the Somerset Race Series.
