Who we are...

Mounts Bay Harriers are the newest local Running, Triathlon and Athletics Club in Penwith, being set up by local triathletes and runners in June 2005. The club meets at Mounts Bay School every Monday at 7pm for social runs of varying lengths, with structured coached sessions at various locations on Thursdays at 7:00pm. (best to e-mail first)

...and what we do!

The club now has over 200 members and regularly has 20-30 turning up for training sessions. Of the group that turn out there is always a wide standard of athletes from beginners, who are especially welcome, to accomplished triathletes and runners. The club also has a large junior section who meet on Friday nights at "The Dome" at Mounts Bay School, Heamoor.

Anyone fancy a Cross Country Run Tonight?

I’ve had an idea for a club run, which is about 50% off-road on footpaths or bridle paths (click on thumbnail to view map).  It takes us up from the school over the fields to Madron Church, then follows the road out of Madron before reverting to footpaths over the fields towards Ding Dong and Nine Maidens. From here we follow a moorland track down to Bodrifty and back on road as far as the top of Bone Valley. Switching back to off-road, we then take the bridle path that joins up with Aldreath Road back into Madron, retracing across the fields to the Sports Centre. Should be nice and dry underfoot with all the fine weather we’ve been having. Anyone fancy giving it a go tonight?

    I’m up for it. Like a bit of variety and good to get off the road and run on something softer.
