Hedgies cross the Solent

10/2/2020

Many congratulations to the 38 Hedgies who completed the Ryde 10 HRRL race this morning. Happy to be corrected but that has to be a record HERC turnout for our annual 'overseas' trip.

And many thanks to the numerous supporters who made the trip too - always helps lift the spirits, particularly on tough courses like Ryde.

Conditions were good once again, albeit a little gusty in places. Here are the provisional results:

Not known as a PB race, but do let us know if you got one! I'm certainly aware of some excellent course PBs.

And many thanks to Tracy for organising all the travel arrangements once again, made it so easy for the rest of us.

Solent Half - 24/09/17
Gosport Half - 19/11/17

2017/18 HRRL Races

2/7/2017

The AGM of the Hampshire Road Race League was held on Monday the 26th of June. The main item on the agenda was the selection of the road races for the 2017/18 season. There were 14 events on the short list that needed to be reduced to 12. The two new events on the list this year were the Fleet ½ Marathon and the Fleet 10K. The Fleet ½ Marathon is scheduled for the 18th March 2018, the same day as the Eastleigh 10K so if there was a preference for the Fleet ½ Marathon, the Eastleigh 10K would not be part of the league next year. Voting took place and there was overwhelming support for maintaining the current races, so Fleet will not form part of the league next year.

2016/17 HRRL Race 10 - Alton 10M - May 7th, 2017

10/5/2017

Well done to all Hedgie runners and supporters that went to the Alton 10 on Sunday. Perfect running conditions and (as always) a great race provided by our friends at Alton Runners saw several 10 Mile PB's achieved.
Plenty of parking, fantastic organisation, excellent marshalling, lots of support, a lovely route around the countryside... what more could you want from a road race?

This was round 10 of the 2016/17 Hampshire Road Race League.
Our Ladies A team were placed 5th and our B Team were in 10th place. Unfortunately we were short of a C team. After 10 races, the Ladies A are in 3rd place in Division 1 and the Ladies B are in 4th place in Division 1 of the B League. The Ladies C team are in 11th place in Division 1 of the B League
The Men's A team finished in 2nd place in Division 2. The B team were placed 5th in Division 1 of the B League and the C team were 10th in Division 1 of the B League. Following these results, after 10 races the A team remain in 1st place in Division 2, the B Team are in 3rd place and the C team are in 13th place.

With two races to go, good team performances at Netley 10K and Lordshill 10K could see HERC claim several trophies.

Race 9 of 12 in the Hampshire Road Race League was held at the Hendy Ford Eastleigh 10K. Another good weather day for spring running and a flat course made for some fast times and many PB's for Hedgie runners.

Another great showing by Hedge End Running Club members ensured that that once again the club had full Men's and Ladies A, B & C teams in the HRRL with several members featuring in the teams for the first time.

Well done also to the many other club members that ran in the race and a special mention to the graduates from the January Beginners Course that were set running in this race as their goal and rose magnificently to the challenge, many stepping massively outside of their comfort zone..

Race 10 in the series is the Alton 10 on Sunday the 8th of May 2016.
