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.

Perranporth Tri - 21st September 2008

The classic surfers Tri:

and some thwarted surfers:

In spite of the distinct lack of pumping surf, Brooksy (109th - 2:23:28), Kyle (14th - 2:06:50) and Shay (50th - 2:14:43) look to have enjoyed their day at the beach!

Well done also to Carlos (16th - 2:06:53) and Gus (23rd - 2:08:55), who were racing for Queen and Country on Sunday as Team RN…the splitters!

Meet a Cycling Olympic Silver Medal Winner - Sunday, 21 September 2008

Wendy Houvenaghel from Bodmin won a silver medal at the Cycling Velodrome in the Olympics.

Come and meet her and see the medal at the Bike Café at Bissoe this Sunday. She’ll be arriving at 1.30, but Liz and Richard who run the Café are keen for people to be there before that so that we can give her a rousing welcome. Let’s take time to celebrate a real achievement.

You can take the opportunity to have a coffee or a bite to eat, to walk along the trails or hire a bike (kids bikes and trailers too) and do a bit of scenic cycling.
