Facebook Page – Istead & Ifield Harriers Running Club Gravesend

Like many clubs, the Istead and Ifield Harriers Facebook page is a Private Group, just for club members.

However, we have been increasingly aware that this means anyone who looks for details of our club on Facebook will not be able to see very much.

We have therefore set up another page – Istead & Ifield Harriers Running Club Gravesend.  This is a public page and is regularly updated so people can see what we’ve been up to.

This is the link to the page – we very much hope you will like it!

Mob Match

Each year a ‘mob match’ is held between Istead & Ifield Harriers, Gravesend Roadrunners and Larkfield AC.  This year it was Istead’s turn to host the match.

Having moved our HQ since we last hosted the event, a new course had to be devised.  A lovely 6 mile course around Cliffe Pools was mapped out and runners were lucky enough to have beautiful running conditions and a stunning sunset.

With superior numbers and the first 7 runners home, Istead once again retained the trophy.  The run was followed by a post-race buffet at the Cliffe Village Club, supplied by Istead & Ifield Harriers.
