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.

Lanhydrock Half Marathon

Four Mounts Bay Harriers, Dave Austin, Phil McNevin, Tammy Rosewall and Yvonne Turner together with Graham Storer and Becky Gower took part in the inaugural Fire and Ice Half Marathon held around the grounds of the National Trust’s Lanhydrock House near Bodmin. The race was to raise funds for The Fire Fighters Charity, Help for Heroes and Children with Leukaemia. Over 200 competitors took part.

The day started off very foggy and cool but the sun soon burnt that off and it turned into a glorious Spring day with temperatures reaching over 24C, which a lot of runners found difficult to deal with after training in cool conditions for so long.

About five minutes before the start Yvonne found out that dogs were allowed to run and, together with Graham Storer of Cornwall AC, they quickly got two of their dogs ready to run the half marathon.

The run was hot and hilly but everyone got round the course including the dogs!

Well done to the Fire Fighters for a very well organised event and good luck with their Fire and Ice Challenge in 2012.
