Three Peaks Race – Proud History, Brilliant Present 🏔️💛🖤
The Three Peaks Race has long been part of Holmfirth Harriers history — and this weekend our current team added another superb chapter.

🔥 Two teams in the Top 7
Amber vests right at the sharp end once again.
And according to StatsBob…
⛰️ Helen & Tim were the fastest pair up Ingleborough of all relay teams — quicker than every individual runner except elite international Tom Evans. Outstanding.
A huge thank you as well to Phil Hobbs for top organisational work as ever.
But this race means more than one weekend.
To our knowledge, the first Harrier to run the race was Bill Wade in 1963, when it started from the Hill Inn at Chapel le Dale. Bill completed it an incredible 41 times.
Since then, generations of Harriers have taken it on — names like Roger Bradley, Trevor Ramsden, Mick Armitage, Ian Roberts, Andy Styan and many more.
Club legend Andy Hauser recorded nine top-10 finishes, including a highest placing of 3rd, matched by Ian Roberts.
From those early pioneers to today’s relay success, the Three Peaks remains one of the great tests — and one deeply woven into our club story.
Past and present. Tradition and performance.
That’s Holmfirth Harriers.
Running for Everyone 💛🖤
