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)
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.
At the bottom right hand side of the homepage, under the “Join In” section, you’ll find a link to a fairly comprehensive PDF listing of Running, Swimming and Cycling events taking place in Cornwall this year. Tri’s, Road Races, Multi Terrain Races, Time Trialling, Audax, Sportives, Charity Swims, Open Water Swims - they’re all in there. Have a gander, and start putting some dates in your diary.

About 30 turned up for the annual run at Zennor through mud and more mud!
There were a few hangovers from last night!

32 hardy souls took part in the annual MBH coastal run from St Levan to Porthcurno, quite balmy this year as no hail, snow or gale force winds to contend with, but with all the recent rain, a few large muddy puddles to run through on the way. Newquay, Truro, Cornwall AC and Carn were all represented by runners who had travelled down for the run (but we suspect it was more likely for Liz’s tea and cake afterwards!) Will decided to run in his army boots and obligatory half a ton rucksack, whilst poor old Charlie had left his off roaders in a plastic bag on his kitchen top and had to run in his nice new road racers! Many thanks to chaperone Geoff Letchford who, unable to run all the way, due to another injury, popped up in several places, walkie talkie in hand, standing by in case anyone needed any assistance. I’m pleased to say that we all made it back to the carpark, 2 sprained ankles, a cut knee, a butted toe and a couple of bramble scratches about 70 minutes later, all I’m pleased to say not serious (and it wasn’t me for a change)
quick regroup at Porthgwarra lookout station and then negotiating the Minack steps down to Porthcurno. Now if this has whetted your appetite for a bit of off road - join us on New Years Day, 11am, Tinners Arms, Zennor for a 3 or 6 mile hangover cure!
A few Harriers made the Christmas Day swim at Sennen. It was a heck of a lot warmer than last year!
Didn’t quite get a photo of Nick Brooks covering his bits with a Santa hat in the car park!
