Running with baggage: my experience at Gosport Half
27 November 2025Ruth Churchill
Gosport Half was my first organised event of the year and, also the furthest I’ve run in one go since March. I’m writing this in mid-November, so as you can gather, I haven’t run much lately.

Harestock Handicap – November 25
10 November 2025Steve Oliver

Harestock Handicap – October 25
3 October 2025Steve Oliver
First of the dark nights but our intrepid band was suitably equipped with lights and hi-viz and making the most of good running conditions.
