Hardley Runners Results 2021

Results for 2021

Results are published here in date order, latest at the top. If you have any results to add, please email the webmaster (see contact us page).

Nowadays quite a lot of races only show club name for EA registered runners.  This is very frustrating as it makes it much more difficult to find Hardley results.  If I miss you please email me.  Or better still, join EA.

Geoff Mills Trophies

Geoff was a prolific racer who represented Hardley in pretty well every local race even into his 80s. To celebrate his love of racing his daughters donated two floating trophies, one for women and one for men. They are awarded annually to the two Hardley members who represent our Club in the most races in the RR10, HRRL, HCCL and CC6 Leagues plus the Hampshire, South of England and National Cross Country Championships. The more races you complete, the more points you get, with a current maximum of 35 events.

HRRL Race 2 - The Lordshill 10K - Sunday 19 September 2021

Simon Ibbotson reports,

It was a great turnout from Hardley for the 2nd race of the 2021/22 HRRL. A refreshing spot of rain cooled us off on the start line but we soon got going and warmed up. The start/finish and course were different from the previous years and the new out and back route seemed to work well. It was definitely quick, as can be seen from the results. An excellent run from both Tim Anetts and Alice Rudd saw them as the first male and female back for Hardley in 33:39 and 40:39 respectively. Dan Latham had a brilliant run giving him a new race PB and there were some great age category positions; including 1st and 2nd for Alice and Poppy and 2nd for Mike. Very well done to everyone that ran!

HRRL Race 1 - The Overton 5 - Sunday 5 September 2021

A surprise heat wave came out of nowhere to make for a very hot run at the Overton 5 mile, the first race of the 2021/22 Hampshire Road Race League (HRRL). 305 runners crossed the finish line, which is far lower than previous years. This will be in part due to the unfortunate clash with the Southampton ABP races. We fielded two runners: Mick Anglim finished with a chip time of 39:59 and Mike Smith with 42:34. They were 1st and 3rd respectively in the MV70 category, so very well done to you both.

Here are some pictures of Mick and Mike.

Virtual Club Championships - July 2021

Dan Latham reports

This year’s club championship was a virtual arrangement within a month window from 1st July to 1st August 2021. This window allowed members who entered into the Eastleigh 10K event to use their time as a virtual entry in the Club Champs. 

Runners who ran in an actual event are listed in the results in red text. The Eastleigh 10K course is renown as one of the flattest and fastest courses on the South coast and the conditions were perfect and the sun stayed away until 55 mins into the race. 

The Club Champ Award for The Fastest Male goes to Tim Anetts who ran a brilliant race finishing in the top twenty hitting a PB and running an amazing time of 33 mins 29. 

The Club Champ Award for The Fastest Lady goes to Alice Rudd who ran a brilliant time of 41 mins. 

The Club Champ Award for the Highest WAVA age grade score goes to Jane Hodge with 83.66%. Jane ran a virtual 10K, an out & back course between Slufters Inclosure and Ocknell Inclosure near Fritham with a headwind on the way back. She ran a great time of 48:14.

The Club Champ Award for the Highest Male WAVA goes to Mick Anglim with a score of 82.69% in a great time of 46:54 around the Eastleigh 10K course.

There were many PB's Tm Anetts 33:29, Matt Matthew Casey 41:44, Poppy Tanner 42:37, Phil Rudd 42:55, Danii Bundy-Marsh 58:38.

Also our ladies team were 3rd place around the Eastleigh 10K course with only Winchester and Salisbury ahead of them.

Have a look through the results at some of the very impressive WAVA scores we achieved, as a reminder:

100% Approximate world record level

Above 90% World Class Level

Above 80% National Class Level

Above 70% Regional Class Level

Above 60% Local Class Level

Brilliant running everyone.

RR10 Round 5 - IBM Hursley - Weds 18 August

Here are hundreds of pictures.  Thanks Hammy.

Dan reports,

Tonight, was the penultimate round of the RR10 league at the grounds of IBM Hursley where Eastleigh Running Club were hosts. The course was a new layout from previous years running in reverse direction with more twists and turns, it was good, more cross country like, we enjoyed it. 

It was a 2 1/2 lap course, coming up a bit short at 7K, over grass, gravel and a bit of tarmac and it ran quickly. Good results in the ladies with Alice Rudd in a fantastic 8th place, Natalie Green in 11th and Steph Warne making her RR10 debut and finishing in a brilliant 44th completing the A team. The men were led home by Chris Harris in a great 24th position and Nathan Renyard in 45th a very strong M40 placing. Matt Casey improved again finishing in 65th. 

There was a great team atmosphere tonight with many Hardley Runners cheering on their team mates home. 

After the last results from race 4 the Results Master commented that Mick Anglim would win the M70 championship if he had one more finish, and tonight he finished in 181st a high placed (probably 1st) M70. 

We must say thank you to Tamsin Roberts for taking the time to come along and collect the results tonight, I could read all the finish positions for a change without having to refer to the finish tickets! 

The next and last run is at Fleming Park next Wednesday with a slightly earlier start time of 6:45pm, Chris Harris looks set to win the F70 title if she can make the finish fingers crossed. 

See you all at the awards lunch on Sunday.

RR10 Round 3 - Manor Farm Country Park - Weds 4 August

Here are hundreds of pictures.  Thanks Hammy.

Dan reports,

It was a slightly humid night for the 3rd round of the RR10 league at everyone's (my) favourite course Manor Farm, hosted by Stubbington Green Runners tonight.

The course was its usual windy, twisty and undulating route with a moderate long hill to finish.

We had another good ladies team result with Alice Rudd and Poppy Tanner working together in 11th & 12th place, and the 3rd lady Kelly Anetts who I know had a really strong last mile, having another consistent run with a 31st place.

The first 3 home for the men were Mark Causebrook in 47th, Matt Tanner in 50th (another very high M50 spot) and Richard Harris in 65th.

No doubt there will be many good age category positions yet again.

It was great seeing many of you out there having fun, and working together in little teams of 2 and 3, a really good team performance tonight.

Well-done everyone.

Don't forget it's our own host event at QE2 Recreation ground next Wednesday. We Hardley runners cannot take part in this, but we will see you all there as volunteers. Email with full details to follow tomorrow.

RR10 Round 2 - Broadlands Estate Romsey - Weds 28 July

Here are hundreds of pictures.  Thanks Hammy.

Dan reports,

Tonight 30 runners attended the 2nd RR10 hosted by Romsey.  We had 7 ladies (enough for 2 teams) and 23 men (enough for 4 teams). The course was flat on tarmac, grass and gravel and conditions were good. First man in was Tim Anetts he was in a good position in the first lap behind the first group of 5 and managed to push on in the 2nd lap to finish in a brilliant 4th place. Alice Rudd had a great run to finish in 8th place. Nathan was 2nd man home in 26th an 8 place improvement on last week in a bigger field of runners and third man home running his first race in ages was Ben Andrew in 50th. 2nd Lady home was Kelly Anetts brilliantly pushing through the field to finish in 26th and third lady home was Hayley Coates in her first RR10 in 32nd. Also well done to Mark Coates running his first RR10 and doing a brilliant from just outside the top 100 which is very respectable. Mick Anglim looked to have been 1st place V70 and finished 24 places higher than last week despite already completing a duathlon this week. Paddy Butler improved by 10 places this week to 83rd position. Jane Hodge ran another great placing in 39th which will probably be another podium placing in the F60's.  Great to see a bigger field of runners this week. 

Next event is at River Hamble Country Park (previously Manor Farm Country Park), Wednesday 4th August at 7pm. See you all there.

Here's the results summary.  Dan reports

Week 70 - The Final Week of the Isolation 5K Weekly Challenge!

It was great to see some of you returning to parkrun for the first time in 70 weeks. Jane Hodge went to Southampton parkrun and was 2nd place F60 in a time of 24:35 80.07%.

And the following runners that have completed every week in 2021 30 runs; Caroline Richmond, Chris Kidd, Steve Bradley, Hails Coates.

Well done everyone, I'd like to thank you all for your participation which has made running this challenge completely worthwhile and also for the way in which everyone has encouraged each other to do their individual personal best whatever that is to you. 70 weeks with nothing but positive comments and real support to each other, each of you made this group a very positive thing to be part of in a particularly odd year. Thank you all !!!!!

Full end of challenge lowdown to follow and remember to keep sending me your best 5K time for each month, there will be a full Hardley 5K time trial league to participate in going forward, back dating from April '21 in line with the annual membership / years season (all club members are welcome to send in back dated times).

Hope to see you all at a Parkrun very very soon. What on earth will I do next Monday night?

The First RR10 - Fleming Park - Weds 21 July 2021

Click on the thumbnail to see the big picture

And here's a lovely album from Hammy

Wow, that was a warm one.  Dan reports

Tonight, was the long-awaited return to the RR10 Series which has not been held since the last event on 14th August 2019, 23 Months ago!! 

Itchen Spitfires and Solent Running Sisters were tonight's hosts and Fleming Park. It was hot 27 degrees! when the runners headed to the start line. From a spectator's point of view our team appeared to pace well, consistently holding our positions across the field, we looked confident in ourselves out there. 

In the RR10 series there are individual age graded and teams league within. The first 3 ladies make an "A team", the next 3 a "B team" and so on and for the men's teams 5 runners are required for a team. 

Our ladies excelled tonight with 3 runners in the top 10; Trish Patterson in 5th, Alice Rudd in 6th and Poppy Tanner in 9th, this is an absolutely fantastic start to the series. 

The first men home were; Nathan Renyard running his first competitive race in over a year in 30th Place a great Male 40 position, Matt Tanner was in 50th place and Carl Hall running is first ever RR10 in 57th, Matt and Carl will both score highly in the V50 categories. 

Congratulations to other first time RR10 competitors Matt Casey making and excellent start getting into the top 60, Erin Anglim having a great start getting into the top 30. Caz Richmond and Ian Beveridge both running very respectably, we really hope you enjoyed it and if you did let everyone you run with know about it.

Racing thought of the week; “Fast running isn’t forced. You have to relax and let the run come out of you.”

Well-done everyone, we will see you all at Broadlands next Wednesday for a 7:30pm start.

5K Isolation series 2021

Week 29

Here's the results summary.  Dan reports

Week 69 the penultimate week of the 5K Weekly Challenge. We've decided to run one more week leading you right into parkrun and allowing me time to format a full end of challenge round up. Karen Denham ran the fastest time this week despite the hot conditions in a great time of 23:44. The highest WAVA score was 80.67% from Jane Hodge also running the 2nd fastest time this week around a Stoney Cross course in a time of 24:24. Helen McLukie was just 27 seconds off her best this year. Jeremy ran his 69th Garden parkrun every week since isolation first occurred and possibly his final garden parkrun before return of full parkrun next week. So one week left; go and give it one last bash next week and all the best for those going to their first parkrun in 70 weeks.

As mentioned I will do a final summary of this challenge and we plan to collect your monthly 5K best times into a Hardley 5K time trial league in future which will include any 5K results you wish to send into me.

The Alresford 10K - 20 June 2021

Click on the thumbnail to see Dan at the head of the field.

Dan Latham reports.

Hardley Runners participated in this years Alresford 10K road race.
For those that have not done event before this is a well organised road run starting in the picturesque village of Alresford. The course departs and finishes on the pitches of Alresford Rugby Club and heads out through the village centre, before tackling the nearby country lanes and taking in the country side views. There's one big loop with a slight out and back return, before you make you way back to the Avenue to return to the finish. The course is very undulating with not many flat sections at all and features 140m (460 feet) of elevation so a tough one and not a PB course, but a great course nevertheless.
There was a modest Hardley presence but there was nothing modest about our teams achievements:

• The male 70 category was a Hardley "1-2" with Mick Anglim first and Mike Smith 2nd.
• The female 70 category featured a Hardley 2nd & 3rd with Chris Harris and Jan Anglim taking these spots.
• Dan Latham was 3rd in the Male 30 category.
• Matt Casey who has been improving rapidly throughout the last year continued his good form to run a Personal Best, on what is a very challenging course.

Brilliant running Team Hardley.
The race adhered to current covid precautions and featured a rolling start, with the results based only on chip time, so there was no rush to crowd at the start line.

Click on the thumnail to see Callum on his way to a new PB.

Callum Tanner reports

"Postponed in 2020, the Ryde Harriers organised Brading 10k returned on Sunday under covid-safe measures.

After being chucked out of the car near Smallbrook stadium five minutes before the start, we all lined up in fours based on your predicted time for a staggered start.

It was great to see all the top island-based runners lining up on the start line after such a long absence, Ryde Harriers are like the dream team of long distance running these days!

With water bottles provided at the 5k marker and a handful of kids with water guns it was a friendly and well run event.

I managed the race and conditions well, rewarded with a new 10k race PB in 38.06 and a 10th place overall finish - encouraging signs for this years' races!

Looking forward to catching up with the purps at a HRRL and XC or two this year."

Congratulations on the new PB Callum!

5K Challenge Week 58.

Week 58 was a windy one and running conditions were definitely harder, however that didn't stop Hardley Runners and friends from achieving:

Jo Avery ran her best time this year 5 seconds off 24 mins, apparently Jo's motivation for this cracking effort was a small window of opportunity before the Chinese takeaway was delivered! Caroline Richmond ran only 3 seconds off PB in 27:37. Matt Tanner a week after his marathon was only 8 seconds away from his target. Well done to Ann Brucelow who has run her 10th 5K in a row since returning back to running.

This week was national Ultra Running Week and Jeremy Barber took on the 5K challenge in ultra running style, taking a back pack with him, taking in 3 drinks stops and completing in a time of 1:08:59, wava of 25.27%, Ultra Spirit Brilliance Jeremy. I thought I would take the opportunity to congratulate the Ultra and Long Distance specialists in the club that have taken part in this 5K challenge, well done for giving it a go, and for showing a different side to your running and setting some impressive times. Well done everyone!

CC6 Month 2 - We are still top of the league

The numbers have been crunched and the CC6 website (see Links tab above) has been updated with the full results.

And we are still top of the league.  It is a close run thing and we'll need more excellent performances to stay top.  So please get out and do your March run and report details to Hannah.  If you've done one already then how about having another go and seeing if you an improve your time.  You can run in March whether or not you have taken part before so don't be shy.  All you need is a five-mile off-road route with start and finsih close to each other.  And we have had some good news.  The season has been extended by a month so there will be an April run as well as March.

The First CC6 - January 2021

Good news.  Hardley fielded 24 runners: 12 women and 12 men.  Things are a bit different this season because of Covid.  Runers chose their own 5 mile, off-road course starting and finishing at or near the same point.  Times have been reported to CC6 HQ and we'll have to wait and see what they make of the results. In the meantime, here they are in alphabetical order.  Thanks very much to Hannah Cockle for coordinating our teams.  Anyone can join in for the next race.  Just run 5 miles as explained above and report your time to Hannah.  So come on everyone, give it a go!

5K Isolation series 2021

Week 05

Here's the results summary.  Dan reports

Week 5 of the 2021 5K Challenge.

It was a fairly windy old week, making for a really tough effort when running against it. 35 runs were recorded and the fastest time this week was from James Clarke in 17:39, the fastest time recorded this year so far. Karen Denham recorded the fastest female time and WAVA in 22:51 69.59% and Mick Anglim again recorded the overall highest WAVA score at 78.69% with an identical time as the previous week. Grace Hawker recorded her best time this year in 28:49, the third time this year she has knocked a chunk off. Roger Tansley improved his target time by over 2 minutes. Hayley Coates knocked a couple of seconds off her 2021 best. Jan Anglim recorded her best time this year only 4 seconds away from her target. It hasn't been the easiest couple of weeks to run with the weather, but 15 runners are within 1 percent of breaking their target, wait for the winds to drop and I'm sure these runners will break through. Well Done all great running.

Week 1 of the 2021 5K Challenge.

After 40 weeks of the original 5K challenge it was time to wipe the slate clean, make a few adjustments and revise our targets.

So here it is week 1 of The 2021 Season: Firstly thank you to everyone coming back again for another season, and wow! 9 new runners have joined in week 1, thank you guys for giving it ago and for all of you who figured out the age grade calculator and sent WAVA scores through. We hope you enjoy the challenge and look forward to seeing you improve towards your target. All the runners are here to encourage you and help you and to have fun running, and from us all WELCOME!

29 runners completed 5K's this week, the highest return we have ever seen! And everybody ran there best 5K time in 2021! 5 runners have already beaten their target time; Chris Kidd has been targetting a sub 30 run for 18 months and squeezed under the bar today in 29:59 a 3.16% improvement to his target WAVA. Caroline Richmond ran a PB to achieve a time of 31:13 improving her target WAVA score by 2.24%. After 41 weeks of continued 5K running Jeremy Barber beat his target by 2% with a time of 26.06. Jacqui Healey beat her target by 1.25% with a time of 25:34, this is impressive as in 2020 Jacqui achieved her best 5k time in seven years and now further improves this. Steve Bradley after several weeks closing in achieves his target with a time of 26:47, taking 2 seconds off and an improvement of 0.74%. Other items to note; Kim Latham completed her 5K in 1 year around the tough Wilverley course. Jeremy continues with his garden parkrun something else the challenge caters for, why not challenge him by making your own garden 5K!

Many runners changed their course this week to comply with the 2021 guidance; making loop courses or out & backs, with the aim being to avoid any elevation loss (down hill running). Well done for adapting it looks like we all have some great routes we can go at.

Hope to see you all and more next week. Reminder that you can join at any time and can run as many or as little as you want. Take care and have fun running!
