Mounts Bay Harriers

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.

Just over 100 runners turned up for this race today of which 5 were Harriers - Geoff Letchford (40.12), Andrew Hickson (40.53), Ian Matthews (43.04), Trina Peters (56.00) and Yvonne Turner (52.50) (and Graham Storer (48.52), although he was wearing that horrible yellow and green vest!)

Ideal conditions for running - there were even a couple of blokes carrying a Shelterbox, and they didn’t come last!

Adrian Ball of Cornwall AC took first place (36.35) with Sean Milford of Newquay Road Runners (37.32) in second place. For the women, Juliette Knowles of Cornwall AC (42.48) was first - finishing just in front of Ian!

There were only prizes for first in the age groups. Geoff L picked up first in the 55+ and Trina first in the 40+. The rest of us made up the numbers.

A nice, low-key event. One to put in your diary for next year. The course is “undulating” but comfortable.

All funds raised went to the Shelterbox Appeal.

Thanks to Sam Hill, who rode upon his bike and cheered us all on!
