On a real wet and foggy evening (August, you have got to be joking) Pete LeGrice absolutely annihilated the opposition at the annual St Levan 10K, Pete who won the race last year improved on his time this year winning in an impressive 32.15, his closest threat, Colin Snook, CAC, finished in well over a minute behind in 33.57, third place was Noel Kindon, CAC.
Pete actually took a bad fall coming into the finishing field grazing both knees but still managed to limp (must have been quite a fast limp!) over the finish line

Senior and Junior results can be found HERE

Mounts Bay Harriers were well represented in both junior and senior races with numerous Harriers attaining PBs.
Other age group winners were Immy Wood 1st under 11 girl, Ellie Ringwood 1st under 13 girl, Archie Vingoe 1st under 13 boy, Jacob Wood, 2nd overall in the junior race and 2nd under 15 boy, his brother Tom (aged 15) actually raced the full 10K in a fantastic time of 40.31 and for the seniors Rachel Tresidder 1st female under 35, Clive Hibbert 2nd male 65-69 - the mens team finished 2nd to CAC as for some reason this race only seems to take 4 per team?! the ladies had a 3rd.

One moan, now I know it was only £6 to enter and a village sports event, but it has been going a few years now, - what was that for winning the whole race?!?!? I know you have to buy the numbers, medals, pay the necessary authorities but come on organisers you need to put your hand in your pocket a bit deeper as that was very cheap first place trophy, It is the winning, I agree, but to have something a little more spectacular to perhaps put on the mantel piece or show the grand kids in years to come? sorry had to be said!
Well Done to all MBH.

Don’t forget we still need lots of marshals and helpers for Wednesdays DAN Cape Cornwall Caper 5K race - please contact Mark Omori if you can help out

A hot and humid race for the 32 Mounts Bay Harriers who took part in the Indian Queens Half Marathon. The race was full to capacity with over 650 runners taking part – the entry limit was 550!

Rich Savage just about sneaked in the top 20 in a time of 1.21.56 and picked up 2nd male vet 45-49 in doing so. Rachel Tresidder was first female home for the Harriers in a time of 1.31.48 and second female vet 35-39. Nancy Hill was third female vet 40-44 in 1.35.18, with Sue Taylor also claiming second in the female vet 55-59 age category. Clive Hibbert yet again claimed a prize in the male vet 65-69 picking up third place in a time of 1.48.49.

Despite weather forecasts of rain, in was not forthcoming during the race and Jeremy Kewn started running through every puddle going just trying to cool down. Given a chance I think he would have sat in one! It didn’t help that his wife, Nicola, well in truly beat him by coming in nearly 10 minutes ahead.

Phil Sanger (1.24.17) was ahead of Rich Savage at the ten mile mark but Rich had Phil in his sights and reeled him in.

Matt Lawless and Andrew Hickson both finished in under 1.30.

Chris Ford and Thomas Howarth had a hard training session the previous Thursday – they were meant to be taking it easy but were treating it as an actual race. They still both put in brilliant times of 1.30.13 and 1.37.30 respectively.

Sacha Hosking and Dominque Gabry were competing in their first half marathon. Sacha had only ran 7 miles in training before this race and came in just under two hours. Dominique had been putting in the miles with Yvonne Watkins and finished in a respectable time.

Justin Lowell had man-flu but still managed 1.47.24 but Richard Boucher’s calf muscle went part was through the race and he ended up walking.

Well done to all who took part today.
