Harpenden Arrows hosts its first major race
Arrows in the news again! Another great story in the Herts Ad this week celebrating our first race!
Harpenden Arrows Running Club hosted the first major race event in its 10-year history this week, marking a big step forward in the club’s development.
A total of 440 runners from 14 clubs across Hertfordshire gathered at Harpenden Rugby Club for the opening round for Divisions 2 & 3 in the 2019 Scott’s Travel Midweek Road Race League series.
Starting and finishing at the Rugby Club, the largely rural 10km course skirted Harpenden Golf Club and went through West Common before going down Beesonend Lane, and then along and back up to the finish via Hammondsend Wood.
Over 80 Harpenden Arrows members were involved in supporting the event in roles ranging from organising and signposting the route, managing car parking, marshalling the event, and catering for all the runners afterwards.
