Sunday 10^th April was the Welsh National Road Relay Championships at windy Bargoed, and it proved to be a great day for Swansea Harriers with many team medals won, our thanks to all those members who represented the club, highlights included top performances from our A teams placing:

At 7pm on Wednesday 25th May Swansea Harriers are holding the annual Whitford Point Multi Terrain Race which starts in Llanmadoc, Gower,SA3 1DB. The scenic and challenging route begins on a short stretch of road then on trail, beach and forest trails for a total distance of nearly 6 miles.

Sunday 3rd April was the HBA 5, 10 & 20 mile races at Llanelli; in the 5 miler Swansea Harriers filled the first 9 places across the line!

Wednesday 23^rd March was the conclusion of the West Glamorgan & Dyfed Primary Schools cross country fixtures at Dinefawr Park, Llandeilo. It was a major achievement by the athletes present to make their county teams of 12 boys and 12 girls, well done to them all. On the day Dyfed won both the boys and girls races, many thanks to all the volunteers and teachers who made the event possible.

The annual membership renewal form which you all should have received in the post last week with the annual fixtures card should be returned to The Membership Secretary, Mrs Christine McCoubrey, 8 Clos Ty Gwyn, Copper Meadow, Gowerton, Swansea, SA4 3GF or handed in on training nights by 31st March 2016 at the latest.

In another busy weekend of action for the club members who were spread far and wide throughout the UK:

It will almost certainly be the one and only time in most of our lifetimes that an IAAF World Championships event comes to Wales, and our very own Dewi Griffiths has been named in the Great Britain & Northern Ireland team to compete with double Olympic and World champion Mo Farah in a 10-strong team for the World Half Marathon Cardiff 2016 on Easter Saturday

Free food and coach trips on away matches are just two of the many benefits of attending officials courses for Swansea Harriers!!

2016 will again be a very busy year and more volunteers will be needed in particular for judging at home and away competitions to support the club. For every away league match the club is obligated to provide a minimum of 1 time keeper, 1 track judge and a team of between 3 to 5 field judges, for home matches it is always a case of all hands on deck!
