Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

Bingley Show 10K - 19 July 2014

Bingley Harriers had designed a brand new course for this race, but sadly on the day, it turned into a bit of a shambles due to horses on the course.  The first problem occurred with horses after the first two runners had past a group of horses, when one of the riders lost control of her horse and it started rearing.  Then to make matters worse, further on the course, there was a group of horses with someone leading them and they refused to let the runners past as they said one of the horse was injured and did not want to disturb it and apart from the leaders, this backed up everyone in the race.  They reached some stables and everyone thought that she would take her horse into the yard out of the way to let the runners past, but when she did not do so, against her protestations, the runners went past anyway.  However, by this time, the race, as a race was over as the leaders were completely out of sight.

The winner was Frank Beresford of Otley in 41:08 with Tim Midgley of Bingley in 2nd place in 41:18.  Gavin Lund of Ilkley was one of those caught up in the horse shambles and he finished in 4th place in 43:28.  Had it not been for the horses, he might have been pushing the leaders.

Sam Wadsworth finished in 6th place in 48:38.  The delays probably did not make a great deal of difference to his race position, as he was still suffering from the effects of the Saunders last week.
