It’s nearly time for the Stafford Half 2020. The Harriers will be there running and supporting so please give us a shout out if you see us!
Training Run
On Sunday 1st March, we had a 13.1 (and a bit) mile training run. It’s not in everyone’s race day planning to run the fell length of a race before race day, but for various reasons we thought it would be a good idea.
The Harriers did brilliantly, with those who are in VLM training adding a few extra mile on top. Well done all.
Our confirmed runners and race numbers are below
“Didn’t I say I was never running a Half Marathon again”
“My first Half Marathon – Looking forward to it and looking forward to running over the finish line!”
“I’m looking forward to the Stafford Half Marathon 2020, my first Half Marathon with the Essington Harriers, Look out for us and give us a shout if you see any Harriers (Might not look like I do on that pic)”
“This will be my second attempt after running it last year in running shoes not really suited to me.
I’m hoping with the right footwear this year I can improve on my last time. The course itself is testing in parts but also has some kind sections as well.
One thing you can be sure of is a fantastic atmosphere and for those of you running your first half it’s a perfect race to choose. I know many Harriers have been training hard and putting the miles in so when you hit that start line….. Enjoy !”

“This will be my 3rd Stafford half and my 2nd as a warm up to the Virgin London Marathon. At least I’ll know I can get to half way”
“Stafford will be my first half, won’t be fast nor pretty but I’ll get round!”
