Afternoon All So here we are, Christmas week, a chance to spend time with family and friends, to reflect on the year and to consider New Year plans. It’s also a time to think of others less fortunate, those who are struggling with physical or mental challenges and to remember a little kindness goes a […]
Afternoon All I hope everyone is well, that the mud-loving Peco runners are safe and warm, and that all of your Christmas plans are on track. We have quite a few Christmas plans within the club this week too, with various social events and a bit of running! Everything is explained below but I do […]

Afternoon All This is one of two emails I’m sending today, both equally important. As were now into December and its cold, its often wet and its dark early I thought I would gently remind you that its time to knuckle down and pack in some good old fashioned hard work and just keep on […]
Good evening everyone I hope this finds you all well and ready to take on the week ahead. Before I launch into the plan, I just want to mention the quiz from Friday evening. We raised money from the raffle, provided food for the food bank, and had fun answering Sam’s questions. We enjoyed delicious […]
For many years it was the tradition of Nidd Valley Road Runners to celebrate New Year by running the Harrogate Ringway footpath as a relay. It was a popular event but attracted too many teams for an event which could not be licenced or insured – you can’t place marshals around 20+ miles of footpaths […]
Afternoon All What a busy weekend it’s been for Nidd Valley and what a fantastic weekend too! Our Guy Fawkes 10 mile race was a huge success once again. It’s times like this that the real team work, friendship and sheer hard work is so obvious among our members. So many people have helped to […]

Evening All, I just have to begin by congratulating everyone who travelled to Redcar today, on what had to be one of the wettest days for months! We had people racing in the junior 2K, the 5K, 10K and of course our championship race, the half marathon. There was a huge sense of team spirit, […]

Good Afternoon I probably need to begin this weeks email by reassuring you that I still exist! Ive not made it to club nights as I’m still busy keeping the injury bench warm and Ive been away working. I did manage to see some friendly Nidd faces at the park run these past few weekends […]
