🔵 The Harvel 5 🔵 Many of our athletes recently attended the infamous 5 mile race, The Harvel 5! The annual event is a fantastic day out and very well supported.

🔵 Kent Schools Championship 🔵 Many of our U13-U17 athletes represented their school at the Kent Schools Champs last weekend at Medway. They all had amazing performances with many gaining new PBs! They also gained plenty of medals between them. U15 and U17 athletes who placed in the top two were selected to represent Kent today at the intercounties in Crawley. We wish them all the best especially on such a hot day! Go Hoops! 💙🩵 ———————– See here for the original post on Facebook.

🔵 Social Run 🔵 Our athletes don’t only run together during training and competitions, sometimes they get together just because they love to run! One of our coaches recently organised a very scenic social run. This is a great way to get everyone together in a more relaxed vibe. They could enjoy chatting away whilst taking in the views on a sunny day. They then finished off enjoying a coffee together! Running doesn’t have to be just competitive, the social and health benefits are just as important (if not more so) as medals and PBs! Go Hoops! 💙🩵 ———————– See here for the original post on Facebook.

🔵 DHAC Open Meeting and KCAA 3k and 10k Championships 🔵 Tonight we held our Open Meeting alongside the KCAA 3k and 10k Championships. We will share updates and photos in the coming days but we can’t hold off celebrating Warwick Dixon, from Cambridge Harriers, breaking the Shot Put British Record for his category! 🇬🇧 Round one he broke the record with 7.04m, then in the third round threw 7.24m! 🤩 At a young age of 90, Warwick is a throwing legend! ———————– See here for the original post on Facebook.

🔵 Parkrun Tourism – May 🔵 May was another busy month for our parkrunners. The furthest one visited was Poppintree in Dublin! 🧡🇮🇪 Special well done to young Haydon who completed his 1st parkrun! He’s clearly going to take after his parents and be a future Hoop! 🤩 Go Hoops! 💙🩵 ———————– See here for the original post on Facebook.
