Run and Pub night

Run and Pub night

Another great evening of running, chatting, and laughter. Our monthly “run and pub” nights are always popular, with some staying for a quick post-run drink and others enjoying a well earned meal too. If you want more than just running from your club and would like to get to know this friendly bunch, contact us today! 💙🩵 harcfamily ...

HARC does Taskmaster

HARC does Taskmaster

An evening of non-running fun saw Sara Sherwood take the crown, I mean golden shoe, at HARC Does Taskmaster. Our five adventure loving stars took on the challenges set by Katy Bamber to see which of them could 'think outside of the box'. Much hilarity ensued, with trying to guess the pie-fillings, drawing 97 monsters and a lesson in how not to do star jumps given by Marc Blair. Head coach, Chris Lees, had the unenviable task of awarding the scores. The evening followed the format of the comedy show which airs on Channel 4. Imogen Robinson had a great time reading the challenges; Andrew Garner failed to win over the judge with his pleas for points, and Michelle Slade produced her own beautiful jigsaw. A special mention to Sarah Higo for putting herself on the line as a last-minute stand-in - boy, can that girl fold a towel! Huge thanks to our juniors, Coco and Katie-Beth, for working so hard on the production...

Hambleton Athletics and Running Club Awards Night 🏆

Hambleton Athletics and Running Club Awards Night 🏆

HARC’s second annual Awards Night was a time for celebration and camaraderie, as club members enjoyed a wonderful feast at Institution in Bedale. Eight trophies were awarded to reflect the club’s principles: ‘Caring & Supporting’; ‘Coaching-led’; ‘For Everyone’; and ‘Enjoying Our Sport’. And the winners are… Our Greatest Of The Year (male), affectionately known as ‘Billy GOTY’, was presented to one of the club’s juniors, Harvey Wilkinson. Harvey is a superb up and coming shot putter whose excellent performances this season have earned him a current top 20 national ranking. The ‘Nanny GOTY’ (Greatest Of The Year – female) went to Lesley Whitehouse who achieved a superb age-graded performance at 5km distance at Sherwood Pines parkrun. Joanne Sinnott received the ‘Captain Cook Cup’ for endeavour. Jo set herself phenomenal challenges this year in a bid to raise over £3,000 for MND, a charity very close to her heart. During the qualifying period, she ran a number of full marathons, and ran 86 solo miles...
