NYSD – Cross Country League 2026/27 – Stewart Park 👟

4th October 20265th October 2026 By Sara SherwoodNo Comments

And so this years Cross Country event has started off with a bang. In Stewart park in Middlesborough, families, running clubs and friends gathered to support today's runners. The weather was breezy but sunny and the grass was short, so no high knees (thank god!) The route was a winding course through the park, with some sneaky inclines which made you work for them and as always with grass running, it was quite a challenge! 1st off the under 10s/12s boys & girls including HARCs own George and Ezra. Strong running from the pair of them over the 2K course. Next came the under 14s Boys & Girls and then under 16s. Then came the U18, U20 Sen and Vet ladies plus U18 Boys and over 65 Vet Men for a 6Km two lapper of the park. Fantastic efforts from Sam, Louis, Jade, Lindsey, Jess and Eve. Last but not least the U20 Senior and Vet Men V40 to V60 with a tough 9km 3 laps...

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ That’s a wrap on HARC Athletics! 🏅

3rd October 20265th October 2026 By Sara SherwoodNo Comments

20 sessions completed, and what a season it has been! Our junior athletes have worked incredibly hard, developing their technique across running, jumping and throwing, and it’s been fantastic to watch their confidence and skills grow. But it wouldn’t be HARC without the personalities, the laughs and, of course, the cheeky comments that came along with every session! 😂❤️ Every single junior brought something special to the group, and they’ve made these sessions an absolute joy. We finished the season in the best way possible, with the parents getting involved too and what a blast we had! 🙌 The final session was topped off with three very proud coaches presenting certificates to each and every athlete, celebrating all their hard work, progress and commitment throughout the season. 🏅👏 20 sessions. So many memories. Plenty of laughs. And a whole lot of proud coaches! ❤️ Well done, everyone — what a brilliant season! 🎉...

HARC Awards Night 2026 🏆💙

What a fantastic evening we had celebrating our wonderful members at the HARC Awards Night 2026! 💙🏆 This year we were hosted by The The Village Inn, Brompton, where we enjoyed a brilliant evening of great food, plenty of laughs and, most importantly, the chance to recognise some of the fantastic achievements of our members over the past year. We were delighted to welcome Al Pepper Runs as our guest speaker. Al entertained us with stories from his running journey and brought plenty of humour to the evening too! It was a real pleasure to have him join us, and we’re very grateful to him for helping make the night so special. As Al himself said afterwards, he found himself standing in a room full of people who have achieved so much and who are genuine champions of the running community — and we think that sums up our HARC members rather nicely! He also gave a special shout-out to our junior athletes,...

Day 3 complete for Gary on his Cleveland Way challenge! This time it was Osmotherley to Lord Stones, with Gary joined by Richard, Tina, Bev and Emma for the walk. 🥾 7.93 miles ⏱️ 3 hrs 19 mins ⛰️ 1,694 ft of elevation Gary’s own verdict was pretty simple: “Hard. My body told me so. I agree.” 😂 Another tough stretch ticked off, but with some cracking views and good company along the way. That’s three days down on his 109-mile Cleveland Way challenge for FSHD. A huge well done to Gary and everyone who joined him for Day 3! 👏...

Sunday Social Run – Masham & Hackfall 🌿

26th July 202629th July 2026 By Sara SherwoodNo Comments

This week’s Sunday social run, expertly led by Ste Moon, started from Masham Market Place and followed a beautiful 13.4km (8.3 mile) route along the river through the stunning Hackfall Woods before returning to Masham. With around 509ft of elevation, there were plenty of climbs to challenge the group, but the spectacular scenery and friendly atmosphere made it well worth the effort. A big thank you to Ste for leading another fantastic route, and well done to everyone who took part. The Sunday social runs are a brilliant opportunity for members to explore new routes, enjoy great company and get the miles in together. Here’s to the next adventure! 💙...
