It was such a long way for Michael Eccles to travel and not get the results he wanted. He finished in 1:16:01 which is quite pedestrian for him, although it was a platinum age club record. Michael’s message after the race:- “I hated every second of that, the first mile is downhill but I went up a hill at 3…
Montane Dragon’s Back Race
The Montane Dragon’s Back Race route is inspired by that of the 1992 race, in which the inaugural Dragons tackled Wales’ uniquely wild, trackless, and remote mountainous terrain. Today, it is considered to be the toughest mountain race in the world. Participants underestimate it at their peril! Be under no illusion, this is not a ‘trail race’. It is run…

The Lowestoft Scores Race 2023
What great results for the Eccles family with first places for all. For anyone who hasn’t run this race it is approx 4.75 miles and 401 steps for the seniors and 1.4 miles and 254 steps for the juniors. Plus a few hills added too. It certainly is a toughie. Michael Eccles was second overall and first V40 in 24.58…
Dereham 5k 2023

Lee Quibell ran a gold standard 19.08 Eleanor Chapman, the most excited I’ve ever seen anyone after achieving a pb, ran a silver standard 21.54. Her target this…
Great Yarmouth Half Marathon 2023
At the end of the race everyone seemed to be complaining about the final hill. They said it was fine up to 10 miles and then things got a wee bit harder but they all got to the end looking reasonably happy.

Reepham 10k 2023
There were a few BVH members on the entry list but Alice Grant was the only one who turned up on the start line. It’s not an official course, although probably harder because it’s off road, so for Alice to run her fastest 10k in 47.43 was good going. Well done Alice.
