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 […]
We are sad to report that a club legend died last week. Mike Blagrove, who ran for Ealing Harriers during the 1950s and 60s, has passed away at the age of 82. He was the club’s first male GB international, competing in the European Championships and Empire Games in 1958. […]
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 […]

We had a successful morning at the Ealing Eagles 10k in Gunnersbury Park on Sunday. Conditions were unseasonably warm, and few achieved personal best times, but the club scooped the men’s team trophy and won three individual awards. Veteran Simon Shaw was in the leading pack from the outset, with […]
Our U20/U17 squad came second in their first match of the Youth Development League at Guildford on Sunday. With the mild dry weather conditions conducive to good performances, the athletes won 13 events and achieved 20 personal bests. The U17 men mustered only one athlete in the field events, but […]
Fifteen ESM members completed marathons this Spring, all of them inside four hours. Half of them tackled the London Marathon on Sunday, where fortunately the snow predicted earlier in the week failed to materialise. Apart from a chilly wind, conditions were good for distance racing, as evidenced by the scintillating time […]
The club was well represented in this year’s Mini Marathon. All 32 London Boroughs compete against each other in different age group categories, and a good proportion of young athletes selected from the Borough of Ealing were ESM club members. (Many of them were seen running at Northala Fields parkrun, […]
