This weekend saw a few Harriers out braving the rain and running at Parkrun, Coventry Half Marathon and Chester 10km.

Only one brave Essington Harrier faced the prospect of a soggy Parkrun this week, well done Gary!

Chester 10k
Lisa and her friend Claire took on the Chester Zoo 10k
Chester Run Through 10k. I was 5038. 1st one they have done. Not the best as in organisation, a few teething problems but will improve. A good course, run through the zoo, out into the country lanes, all closed. Back to the zoo to finish. Great medal & you get free entrance to the best zoo. IMO

Coventry half Marathon
We had a few Essington Harriers taking on a very soggy Coventry Festival Of Running Half Marathon
I can say for the weather conditions and the course this was the toughest race I have ever done by a long way. At about 71/2-8 mile there is a climb which goes up- I think a couple of hundred feet, and whilst this was my toughest race it was also my most rewarding as I got 4 PB’s. My 10mile to the end was 35 minutes, when I started running this was my park run time.
