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 the 3000m steeplechase at the […]
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 work getting through the crowds […]
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 field events. The U20 men […]
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. In 1957, Mike played a […]
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 a combination of victories in […]

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 promising first-time appearances. There were […]

We came away with 25 medals at the Middlesex Track & Field Champs held at Lee Valley last weekend, and 20 personal best performances were recorded. Under 17 Laura Stewart set the tone with the club’s first medal in the 300m hurdles. Unfazed by a delayed start due to the electronic timing, she fought off […]
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 it was a stand-out performance […]
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.
