Kirkby Gala BOFRA races








Another wonderful turn out from the Harriers Juniors 0n Sun 20th June at Hawkswick with 16 athletes taking part out of a huge overall field of 158 junior athletes.
We would have had even more as Mia, Francesca and Mabel were all due to race but unfortunately have had to isolate due to school covid cases. We missed you girls! Annabel held the fort though in the U12 girls race and came in an impressive 13th, looking strong as always, well done Annabel!
The U9s race was an all boys event for Settle with Robert (4th), Calum (7th), Toby (12th) in his first fell race and Finlay (19th) making it look easy on those super tough climbs and descents. Brilliant efforts boys!
Back to the U12s and another smashing turn out for the boys. Ben returned to racing with a storming run to finish 13th with Mack (19th), Carl (22nd), Henry (37th) and Harry (39th) following closely behind.
Lucy and Charlotte took on the U14s girls race with great determination, they really gave it their all and finished very high up in the field as 6th and 7th girl respectively.
In the boys equivalent Settle had their first impressive win of the day with Jack continuing his winning streak. He was closely followed by Ned (8th) and Oliver (15th) who was making a welcome return to racing.
Finally, we were treated to an awesome second win when Dougie sprinted in with a 30sec lead over the rest of the field in the U17 race.
WELL DONE to all our fell runners, you’re all superstars!

Coniston Gullies Race Report
We had a record turnout for the first race back. It was even commented upon that Settle Harriers had a large contingent! Well done to everyone who turned up, put themselves on the start line and gave their all. After the last 12 months, it was a very brave thing to do…no one knew what it would feel like to race again, never mind take on one of the toughest BOFRA courses!
U9s
Dedication to the return to regular training paid off for Teddy and Nala Brearley who finished 5th boy and 10th girl in their first fell races. Sarah had posted some pre-race pics, and they definitely win the award for Race Day excitement! Also making their fell running debut were Calum (3rd) and Finlay (7th), running as unattached runners on Sunday but hopefully in green vests soon! Awesome running everyone.
U12s Girls
Four of our athletes in this race. The girls looked so strong on the climb and then flew downhill! Again, it was clear to see the hard work from training paying off. Annabel finished 6th, Francesca 14th, Mia, in her first season as an U12 and her first run for Settle Harriers, finished 17th and Mabel was 19th. Majestic running all round!
U12s Boys
A few less harriers than expected in this race, and it was left to Carl and Mack to represent the Harriers. They did a brilliant job, committed themselves so well on the uphill, sure footed on the downhill and then both managed a sprint finish! So impressive to watch with Mack finishing 9th and Carl 16th.
U14s
Usually a smaller group of athletes but not this year with many of our Harriers moving up an age group. It’s fantastic to see them all still wanting to race and enjoying it (well, maybe not on the uphill!). We had some remarkable results with Jack finishing 2nd, Charlotte 4th girl, Ned 7th, Lucy 8th girl, Robbie 11th and Finn 14th. Wow! We have so much strength and potential in all our age groups. A wonderful start to the racing year and so much to look forward to!
