Definition of 'Harrier' in English by Oxford Dictionaries:
Harrier - a person who engages in persistent attacks on others or incursions into their land. Does this explain why the Bournville Harriers have won the Most Represented Running Club at the BA10k for the last two years? An en-mass incursion into Atherstone? Calling all other running clubs. We need your help to defend our borders! Could your club win this most sort after award by entering as many of your members as possible into our event on 26 August 2018? Massey Ferguson RC and Daventry Road Runners are currently leading the way to taking the top spot this summer. How about beating them to the podium?

Could you go Bananas over the BA10k?
We could go for one or two or maybe even for a few hundred! Due to the kind generosity of our friends at local employer Aldi, that's how many will be at the finish line waiting for your collection. In addition, Aldi are donating bottles of water to keep you going at both the mid point and for refreshment when you arrive at the end in Market Square. Aldi are a major employer locally to our event and we are pleased to have their continued support enabling us to maximise funds raised for local charities. The BA10k remains a not for profit operation run entirely by volunteers. 26 August 2018. Why not come and join us. Bananas provided for very participant. |
It's all about the bling or is it?
Some of us may be more inclined towards considering a new technical T shirt. Especially with temperatures rising and buds appearing on the trees, updating ones summer wardrobe might be a higher priority than a lump of metal. (Other medal materials are available). When we talk about our wardrobe we do mean running wardrobe of course (as if there is any other). What colours are in this year? This is a question pondered each year down here at BA10k HQ. Out shopping for a few hundred new T shirts and we cannot agree on what colour we should all be wearing this summer. What colour does it for you and why? Answers on a postcard. That is if there is such a thing as postcards anymore. They used to be in the paper tidy next to the fax machine, underneath the orange internal mail envelopes. Come on, give us a clue. What's your preference?
