New Record for Gill Harris Round

Tue, 08/05/2012 - 15:23 — Keith Richards

Pete Vale, Mercia's club captain as laid down the gauntlet with a superb time doing the Gill Harris Round in 2:52:59, follow the line set be Andy Davies in what's now looking like a very good route indeed, Pete is the first person to break the 3 hour barriers, it's great to see a really fast time set, hopefully others will follow, and push the time even lower, but remember it's not all about speed, this is a classic challenge, for all to try. For Pete's schedule click HERE, for more details on the Gill Harris Challenge click HERE

Three Peaks Race

Fri, 04/05/2012 - 15:32 — Dave Nichols

Daniel Brazier has just informed me that, as a team Mercia finished 4th at the Three Peaks race Saturday, Andy 
Davies, Will Neall, Dan Brazier, Ian Gridley. Well done guys.

The Fellsman was going on at the same time and the routes overlapped (in time) on Whernside - must have got pretty chaotic at Hill Inn!

Sheinton Steeplechase - 2nd May 2012 – Race Report

Fri, 04/05/2012 - 09:38 — Dave Nichols

At last! Ten years since the first running of this race, the route’s ‘Slithery Hill’ finally came in to its own. As the race is traditionally held on the first Wednesday evening in May, the short steepish clay slope through the woodland at Bannister’s Coppice tends to have already become baked solid for the summer. This leaves puzzled runners enquiring ‘what slithery hill?’
