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 on Thursdays at 7:30pm at the Astro Park (behind Penzance Fire Station).

...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.

I feel it worth mentioning that I was the only one to “keep the faith” and take to the sea clad only in my “budgie stranglers”"!

Merry Xmas all!

    What time did you all meet. I went there at midday and no-one was about!

  2. AikenDrum Says:

    Everybody was at the Battery Rocks from about 11:45 until 12:45 - wondered where you’d got to?

  3. Ayatollah Says:

    I went to the Yacht Inn car park thinking that everyone was meeting there first. Never mind, always next year!

  4. AikenDrum Says:

    There is always next year - January 1st to be precise. Sean suggested a New Year’s “Mini-Tri”, comprising a bike ride to Zennor, followed by Geoff’s off road run, and then a bike back to the Battery Rocks followed by a quick immersion!

    Interested?

    :-)
