West Nab Fell Race (FRA Junior Championships 1)
Coniston Gullies BOFRA races – Sun 23rd May
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!

Recent Results – Cross-Country & Fell Races (16th March)
Congratulations to Seb and Dougie Segger-Staveley who represented North Yorkshire in the English Schools Cross-Country Championships in Liverpool on Saturday 14th March. Seb finished 67th in the Senior Boys race & Dougie 146th in the Junior Boys. Congratulations to them both for their runs and on their excellent cross-country seasons ! We also had at least 2 juniors (Jack Sanderson and Annabel Hinds) selected to represent their county schools teams in the Primary Schools and Year 7 National Schools Cross Country Championships due to held on the 20th March in Loughborough. Unfortunately this event has now been cancelled – but well done to Jack & Annabel (and any others) on their selections.
Earlier news: Congratulations to Seb Segger-Staveley who represented Yorkshire in the Inter-Counties Cross-Country Championships held at Loughborough on the 7th March. Seb continued his excellent season by finishing 20th in the Under 17 Boys race. Seb was the first Yorkshire runner home.
Congratulations also to all those that run in the Cautley Spout KWL fixture on the 8th March. Looking at the results we had a big turnout of juniors and some excellent performances, including 2nd places for Charlotte & Jack, 4th places for Lucy and Annabel and a 6th for Karl.
Cunswick Kendal Winter League
We had a dry day at last, hurray!! Conditions were chilly and windy but good underfoot for this long course. Well done to the 11 juniors who braved the weather and all put in marvellous performances. The races got off to a very prompt midday start and all the U11s and U13s ran together in the first race. This gives a wonderful, huge field and also means that the age range is from 8-12, making pace judgment tricky. Our runners are really learning to run at a pace that works for them and it’s showing in each race. They were all amazing to watch, running with such determination.
A special mention this week goes to James Skeldon who ran in his first Winter League race and I’m sure had a smile on his face throughout, something we can all aspire to! Also well done to Ned Whittaker, our representative in the longer, tough U15 race and Annabel Hinds who finished 3rd in the U11 girls race. Some photos are posted at the foot of this page – more are on the Settle Harriers Facebook page.

Birkrigg Common KWL, 26th Jan 2020
A massive well done to the 21 junior harriers who braved the epic rain, wind and cold of Birkrigg Common on Sunday ! They really did give us a stunning display of great running in very challenging conditions and finished with smiles on their faces.
In the U11/U13 race there were an impressive 95 starters, desperate to get running just to warm up! Jack placed very highly once again in 2nd place for the U13s. Finn and Harry haven’t missed a Winter League race yet and they continued in impressive form. It was Ethan’s first race for Settle Harriers and his dad’s too in the senior race, hopefully the first of many for the Wards! Ewan, Fred, John, Ben, Jack, Carl, Charlie and Mack made up the rest of the Settle Juniors boys in the field and all ran superbly. We were equally well represented by our girls as Lucy, Francesca, Bella, Mabel, Jessica and Martha showed us how it’s done, running with strength and determination.
In the U15 race Charlotte, Martha and Ned had a longer course to pace themselves over and they looked majestic on the downhill, navigating the muddy corner with ease and finishing strongly, well done! Emily (U21) ran brilliantly once again with the seniors over the 5km course.
It was treat to watch these races and well worth the journey and the weather.

Giggleswick Kendal Winter League
Giggleswick Kendal Winter League fixture, Sunday 12 January 2020
Wow!! Superb running by all our juniors at the Giggleswick Winter League race.
It was wonderful to see so many bright green Settle vests scattered across the course. It was incredibly muddy and slippery but at least the sun came out for the junior races and it wasn’t as cold as in previous years. This race has the added bonus of a water crossing, which for the juniors was pretty deep and they were so brave to tackle this and the subsequent steep climb.
The races were fast and undulating and, as always, our juniors did themselves and the club proud with everyone running brilliantly. Special mention to first time racers Martha, Thebe, Robert and John in the U11s and Charlie in the U13s.
Well done all of you!
Jess
We also had 3 17 year juniors running in the Senior race (U21 age-category). Seb had a fantastic run to finish 5th overall in a quality field (2nd U21) and excellent runs too from Emily and Simone. Our junior and senior results are shown below

Scout Scar Kendal Winter League, 5th Jan 2020
The juniors had a terrific start to the fell running year at the Scout Scar Winter League races with an impressive 12 athletes out on the hills! It was brilliant to see everyone giving their all and running so well. The races were tough, fast and muddy; perfect preparation for our ‘home fixture’ next week.
In the U11 girls Annabel came an amazing 5th (10:02) in her first outing for Settle Harriers, Francesca continued in fine form to finish 12th (11:15) and Elouise, also racing for the first time, was a fantastic 14th (12:15). Well done girls!
Ben was 12th U11 boy with a super-fast 9:29 and Harry ran an excellent race to finish his first Harriers race in 34th (14:59). Really brave running by both boys in this fast-paced race which was combined with the U13s.
In the U13 girls race we were represented by Lucy who came 9th (9:38) and Jessica in 20th (11:02). They both ran incredibly, looking strong and smooth over tricky terrain.
Mack and Finn ran in the U13 boys and finished 16th (8:38) and 23rd (9:10). Great running and pace judgment by both boys in a race that went off as though it was a 100m sprint!
Oliver and Charlotte have moved into the U15s and both had super races to finish as 11th U15 boy and 8th U15 girl.
Finally, Emily Crossley had a fine run in the very tough senior race to finish as 3rd U21 lady.
Congratulations to you all and we hope to see even more harriers at next week’s Giggleswick fixture!

Skipton ParkRun, 7th December
13 Harriers took part in the Skipton ParkRun on Saturday 7th December – the 2nd of the Settle Harriers ParkRun meet-ups.
Most were seniors as a lot of our juniors have succumbed to the lurgy going around the schools at the moment.
3 of our contingent ran “PB”s for the course (congrats to Charlotte, Jan & Julia) and we had 4 “first-timers (Sam, Carmel, Richard and Kath)
Well done to all !
