Shrewsbury floodlit 5k

Saturday 6th December 2025

Race Report Mel Deakin
I think I must have entered this race on a sunny summer day not thinking on a Saturday evening in December, it would be dark, cold, wet and I may have parties to go to – however, having nearly bailed out I arrived at Shrewsbury on a damp evening ready to run. It was a 40 minute drive to the leisure centre, oodles of parking and good facilities. The course is five laps on a wide cycle track, all tarmac, not pancake flat but not far off. There were three waves, I was in race one which was the slowest wave, saying that the race one first runner finished in 18:02 which should give you an idea of the caliber of the runners in race two and three. I really enjoyed the run, rather than hating the five laps which I was anticipating, I loved them, I got carried along. In contrast to some races of late where I felt like a sardine for the first k or so until the pack thinned out, the track was wide, a sensible number of runners meant there was lots of room.
It was great to chat to Pete Chell who had a great race, talk about all things running and watch the elites run. Lee Gratton glided across the finish line in a time of 14:42 wow!
The organisers have announced another event on 24th January 2026 I’m definitely signing up. It is a reasonably priced event with no frills on a PB course – so no medal or t-shirt, take your own water or buy it there kind of event – perfect.

Benidorm 10k & half

Saturday 22nd November 2025

Race report by Liz Austin

Over 21st and 22nd November Harriers travelled to Alicante, Spain for the Benidorm half marathon and 10k. After checking in and a few refreshments we made our way to the expo to pick up numbers and T-shirts and make use of the photo opportunities around.

Saturday was race day. With the races starting in the evening, some chose to make use of the time exploring while others chose to save their legs resting by the pool! Kudos to Anna Rollo for flying in race morning and still having energy to race!

The 10kers kicked off their race at 5pm starting in the daylight running through sunset while the half marathoners started an hour later at 6pm as the last of the sunset was going down and finishing when it was dark. The energy was electric from start to finish with the pre-race music getting everyone in the mood to the amazing support and energetic music along the course. An added bonus for the half marathoners was the 10kers managed to finish and make their way to the seafront to support which was a much needed boost to see familiar faces in the crowd giving encouragement.

The half route followed the same course as the 10k to start, which was most definitely undulating with some tasty inclines that flattened out along the seafront. Where the 10k route turned off to finish the half marathon route continued along the full stretch of the seafront then turned off for a gradual climb to start the out and backs along the streets which made up the second half. The end of the half marathon route ran along the main strip which was full of life with the people supporting on the side of the streets and the bright lights leading the way towards the finish.

Both courses finished with a short sharp incline to the welcome sight of the orange and blue flooring up to the finish line 🙌

The team re-grouped at the Guinness bar for debrief and hydration before moving on to a cooldown dance session in the Pig & Whistle

The highlights of the weekend were expertly captured by Laura Colclough and her impressive camera skills.

Well done to all Harriers, everyone had a great race and some impressive runs on a challenging course.
