Thursday 19th December – Xmas Pub Run
We all know how well running and beer go together, so this Thursday it will be the traditional Danum Harriers Xmas pub run!
As Xmas attire is strongly encouraged we wanted to give you all a chance to dig out your reindeer hats or buy a few twinkly lights to enhance your Elf onesies or inflatable Santa suits – or whatever floats your boat!
The route will be up Bawtry Road to the Toby for a quick half, back down Stoops to the Childers – for another quick half – and then back to The Icebreaker to finish off. We will be asking all participants to chip in £4 each and will be taking orders for drinks beforehand so we can pre-order (saves time!) that will pay for 2 drinks on the road and any cash left over will pay for nibbles back at the Icebreaker.
Club Relays Report, Saturday 9th November
Well a great time was had by all this Saturday at the inaugural Club Relays in memory of popular local runner Michael Wakefield, who sadly passed away whilst running Doncaster parkrun in 2016.
The Harriers competed against several local clubs in a total of 22 teams, including Doncaster Athletics Club, Doncaster Tri and several others. The cold November weather didn’t dampen the atmosphere and all clubs had a good turnout for this inaugural outing for what hopefully will become an annual event.
We managed to field a team that came second overall, leading to our first ever club trophy! Three of our pairings also got medals in their category, so all in all a successful result for the club and one which should inspire us on to bigger and better things!
Final Team results from ‘Michael Wakefield Relay Trophy 2019’ were:
- DAC (9) – 82:20
- Danum (15) – 88:40
- DAC (4) – 90:35
- Ackworth (5) – 93:02
- DTC (1) – 93:40
- Manvers (11)- 94:20
- DAC (7) 94:55
- Gainsborough & Morton (20) 96:55
- Fitmums & Friends (17) 97:27

- DAC (6) 99:35
- We Can Run (18) 99:56

Harriers in new Hub Home Hubbub!
ATTENTION TROOPS! Exciting news just in.
After many months of waiting, we can now say that from Tuesday 8 October Danum Harriers Running Club’s official base will be the shiny new Cycle Hub at the far end of the Dome. On club nights the Hub will be will be open (and staffed) from 6:00pm to 8:30pm, we have access to toilets, a small cafe, showers and changing facilities including lockers. One of the main benefits of the hub is that we will at last have somewhere to gather inside before our runs if the weather is bad. This is a fantastic new facility for the club, and is something which I’m sure will be much appreciated by new and existing members alike.
Best car park to use is Car Park 4 which is the last one on Booth Avenue (runs parallel to Bawtry Road).
So, next session on Tuesday 8th October is 6:25pm from the Hub for those wanting to warm up and the usual time of 6:45pm for the main session.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!
Many of our intrepid Harriers are racing this weekend at the little known event “The Great North Run”, and there’s a group of members staying a little more local at the Bawtry Forest Trail 10k. So if you have the time to spare on Sunday why not turn on the TV and do a bit of Harrier spotting or head over to Bawtry and cheer in person!
