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!
