Doing Saturday right with parkrun 🌳

And what better way to mark than by getting outdoors, moving our bodies and enjoying some great company! 🧡

We all know the positive impact running can have on our mental wellbeing, but parkrun is about so much more than just running. It’s a place to connect, make friends, feel supported and be part of an amazing community. 🫶

Special mention to Hannah Campbell who achieved her 5️⃣0️⃣ volunteer milestone today at Hereford parkrun 🧡

On Wednesday evening, some of the team headed along to a special KEEN footwear demo evening, hosted by Trekitt

The group had the chance to put some specialist trail running shoes to the test with a sociable jog, before rounding off the evening with well-earned pizza and drinks at The Yard! 🍕🍻 All courtesy of Trekitt!

A huge thank you to KEEN and Trekitt for organising such a fantastic evening! 🙌🏼

Trail shoes, good company and pizza! It’s the best combination! 🏃🏻‍♂️ 👟 🍕

🌳Couriers Open Cross-Country Season at Abbey Dore

The Hereford Couriers got their new cross-country season off to a flying start with a strong turnout at Gwatkins C***r Farm in Abbey Dore.

Hosted by our friends from Hay Hotfooters and Builth Wells Running Club, the opening race provided a challenging and scenic course for runners, with the Couriers arriving in good time to collect their race numbers and prepare for the start.

With nerves beginning to build, runners took advantage of the surrounding fields for a final warm-up before returning for the team photograph.

Following the race briefing and a few words of thanks to the organisers, the runners were soon lined up at the start and, with the call of “Ready, Set, Go!”, the new cross-country season was underway.

The race featured a brand-new course, meaning competitors had no idea quite what to expect. The opening section took runners across a rutted field before leading into a gently undulating stretch and then through woodland.

Emerging from the trees provided a welcome opportunity to take in the spectacular scenery, with the distinctive jagged outline of the Skirrid visible on the horizon. The route then headed back towards the start area before runners tackled a second lap.

The Hereford Couriers produced an excellent team performance, with strong runs throughout the field and some impressive times recorded across the club.

There was plenty of determination on display, along with the usual camaraderie that makes cross-country racing such an enjoyable part of the running calendar.

With the first race of the season safely under their belts, the Couriers were unanimous in their verdict — there are few better ways to spend a Sunday morning.

🏆Female Team are second place just behind Croft
🏆Male Team are third behind Croft and Western Tempo

But with 4 races still to go, there is all to play for.

See you all at Croft for Race 2 🏁 Sunday 8th November ❄️

Completing our epic weekend of half marathon races is our Manchester Half Marathon finishers 🤩

A fantastic alternative to the Cardiff Half Marathon, this northern favourite is one of the biggest races in the region, attracting over 30,000 runners! 🙌🏼

With a fast, flat course, incredible crowd support and rave reviews year after year, it’s easy to see why this race is such a popular choice! 😍

We had a trio of lads take on the course!

Couriers Conquer Cardiff Half Marathon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thanks to Kate Spitzmaul for sending in the race report…

“We had several couriers taking on this race, set in the Welsh Capital and part of the iconic Super half series!

Over 30,000 runners lined up to participate. The atmosphere at the start line was fantastic, the Welsh National Anthem was sung and flames were sent up from around Cardiff castle as each wave made its way out onto the course.

The crowd support lining the route was incredible, bands, musicians and choirs were spread out around the course helping to spur the runners on.

The course, which passes many iconic buildings as well as the beautiful Bay area, was largely flat with a few cheeky hills - one almost right at the end!

A fabulous medal, great T-shirt and a brilliant day out! Fantastic running from everyone!”

Good evening, Sports fans! ⚽️

We had two reds turn blue for the RunThrough Everton 10K 🔵

A flat, fast closed road starting and finishing at the iconic Hill Dickinson Stadium. The route takes runners through Liverpool’s vibrant streets, passing the famous Royal Liver Building and the Beatles statue!

⚽️Dave Bridgewater 51:35
Dave achieved his 2nd fastest ever 10K 🙌🏼
⚽️John Noonan 01:16:00
Our JN ran his best time in over 6 months and also ran for the Everton in the Community 💙

2️⃣ for the price of 1️⃣ Half Marathon Race Roundups 😎

First up, we’re going to the seaside for the Weston Super Mare Half Marathon 🏖️

Soak up the spectacular sea views and run along the Weston coastline. You even get to finish directly on the beach too! 🏝️ We had a duo take on the challenge…

⛱️Kerry Wyatt 02:19:11

Really good stuff from Dave & Kerry 👏🏻

Next up, we’re heading east for the Run Kent Tonbridge Half Marathon 🏁

It was a father son battle for victory with our Graeme Walker coming in at a mighty impressive 01:33:26 finishing 🥇 MV60. But alas, it was the younger Walker that took the crown…but only just! 👑

Will they return for the rematch in 2027? 👊🏼

Let’s start with Saturday, and a great race report from Martin Carter…

CARTER CLAN AT HUNTINGTON 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️

“A 6.8 miles, blue ribbon multi trail race incorporating 1,130 ft of elevation ⛰️where you have the option to run it, use a mountain bike 🚵‍♀️ or ride on horseback 🐎

Talf brought glory to the Couriers by being the 1ST runner and winning a box of After Eight Mints🥇He also achieved a massive PB and was only a few seconds off the all time course record 👍

I had to settle for 2ND🥈but I was the 1ST competitor in the fancy dress category 🥳

We both finished ahead of several cyclists and only one horse crossed the line in front of us.

A great day, but quite possibly not the best preparation for the Winter X-Country League race😮”

Excellent performances, both! What fancy dress costume will you bring out next year? 🦸‍♂️👻🧙🏼‍♀️🧝🏽‍♀️🥷
