Why run with Knavesmire?

I suddenly found a group who enjoyed the things I did… the sort of people I wanted to spend time with (Neil Holdsworth)

New Arrivals!

Emma Gradwell has given birth to twins, 2 baby girls Ellie and Rhiannon, on 3 September.  The babies were a bit premature but are fine and at home now with Mum and Rob.  Emma ran the London Marathon in April not knowing that she was pregnant!!  So the girls have already done their first marathon and should be wearing yellow and black in a few years time!

Congratulations from all the Harriers!

10 in 10

Big congratulations to Paul Adams and Michelle Atkins who both ran 10 marathons in 10 days! This is a fantastic achievement, and we hope to have more information on the website soon... Sue Adams also managed to run 5 marathons in 5 days, before having to retire due to injury.

You can read more about these phenominal achievements at the website http://www.brathaychallenge.co.uk/

A message  from the new ladies Vice Captain.

I would like to take this opportunity to say Hi to all the Ladies of Knavemsire Harriers. I have the privilege of being your vice captain. Abbey Plunket is Ladies Captain and cannot be in two places at once. Abbey can usually be found supporting the ladies down at the track at the University on a Thursday evening and supporting the Ladies at all the various races e.g. cross country and training. If you are interested in cross country, I would encourage you to go along on a Thursday evening to the track at the university or get in touch with her. I on the other hand will be down at the club to run mid week. I help to lead the Monday and Thursday night runs and I would love to meet you all, I cannot promise to remember all your names but none the less it would be good if you could introduce yourself to me, if there is anything I can help you with please feel free to ask and if I don’t know the answer I will do my best to find out or point you in the right direction. York Knavesmire Harriers is a fantastic club with training nights to suit all levels. I look forward to meeting you and I wish you all a good running year.
Margaret Brown
