The running calendar is getting mighty busy this June with Welsh Castles, South Down Relays but perhaps most critical is our very own Harestock Handicap which hosted 16 competitors this month, up on May with the edition of 2 new debutantes, welcome aboard Rod and Henry. The daytime showers had cleared by the time we…
Harestock Handicap – May 26
2 June 2026Steve Oliver
The 5th handicap of 2026 was a little depleted as various marathons and centurion races appeared to have thinned the crowd. However our select 11 competitors were met by a beautiful evening sun and bemused voters as the course skirted multiple Harestock polling stations. The absent handicapper would have been pleased that 6 runners landed within…

Harestock Handicap – March 26
12 March 2026Steve Oliver
Fast times at the March Harestock Handicap as the course was dry and a pleasure to run on. We even used the start/finish lectern for the first time this year. Hi-Viz and torches still very much the order of the day but we're all eagerly anticipating the clock change and giving it full beans in…

The Glorious Fifth… CC6 race at Itchen Valley Country Park
19 January 2026Stephen Lowy
Out of the January gloom a CC6 fixture emerged to reveal a resurgent club performance on a "proper muddy" course round the Itchen Valley CP on the third Sunday of 2026. 16 WRC club members represented us in this penultimate league (and fifth) race for the winter season. The course was just over 4.5 miles…
Harestock Handicap – January 26
9 January 2026Steve Oliver
The 2026 Harestock Handicap got off to an exciting start last night. Firstly it was unusual in being held on the second Thursday of the month (it is always on the first Thursday) and secondly it was held in spite of the weather forecast and the looming threat of storm Goretti. We do however go…
