Twenty club members took part in the Ickenham 5 mile race on Sunday, part of our road race championship series. Weather conditions were good, and the course is flat, though the start and finish over 200m of unmown grass in Swakeleys Park was a less popular feature. Nick Steel was […]
Our young athletes tackled their third YDL match of the season last Sunday at Marlow. With the continuing lack of U13 girls, the team was destined to finish bottom of the table, but it was their highest match score so far. The squad of 31 managed 26 personal best performances […]
Ben Waterman and Nick Landeau both competed over 800m at the Jos Verstockt Memorial meeting in Belgium on Saturday. Ben placed third in 1:48.76, just outside his season’s best. Nick was sixth in a season’s best of 1:50.39. The following day, Mel Newbery ran a season’s best of 10:20.48 in […]
Fourteen ESM members travelled to Green Park on Monday to tackle the prestigious Vitality London 10,000. Around 12,000 runners completed the scenic course, which takes in many of the capital’s best known sights. Club members reported that it was well organised for such a large event, but it was hard […]
Our U20/U17 squad continued their fine start to the Youth Development League at Perivale on Sunday, winning 22 events and finishing third. It was mild and dry but an early headwind robbed some of the sprinters of good times. However, the club’s athletes achieved 14 personal bests, mainly in the […]

After a lacklustre opening fixture in Winchester last month, we bounced back to win our home match on a warm sunny afternoon at Perivale on Sunday. It was a tight contest, and we finished just a few points ahead of both North Devon and Highgate Harriers. The win came through […]
There was a much better turnout of U13s and U15s in our second Youth Development League match of the season last Saturday at Bedford. The squad was still a little stretched, and many had a busy afternoon competing in multiple disciplines, but there were plenty of personal best performances and […]
Stockley Park on Sunday was the venue for the sixth race in our 2016 road race championship, and 22 club members took part. The testing 10k course takes in part of the landscaped business park before heading out across trails through the golf course. First home for the club was […]
