Harriers' Hero

 massive shoutout to Andy Q, one of our Harriers’ Heroes of the Month, for his phenomenal performance at the Cornwall Back Yard Ultra! 🌲🔥

Andy smashed out 17 laps — that’s 71.5 miles! — earning 5th place overall, and he did it all without a support crew. Absolute grit and determination! 💪

Not only that, but he also tackled 10 laps at the Devon & Cornwall BYU earlier this year — proving his endurance game is next level. 👏

Go Andy!

💚 Team Spirit Shoutout! 🖤

At ECH, it’s not just about the runners — it’s about the amazing friends, family, and furry cheerleaders who make every event that bit more special! 🙌🐾

This autumn, Joel, Nat, Si, and the ever-adorable Zion 🐶 were out in full force at the Back Yard Ultra, supporting their partners with energy, encouragement, and smiles all day long. 🌟

From refills to pep talks (and tail wags!), you were the heartbeat of the sidelines — thank you for showing what the ECH family is all about. 💚

Huge congratulations to Doug and Hannah for absolutely smashing this year’s R.A.T. (Roseland August Trail) — one of the toughest events in the South West (and that’s saying something! 😅).

With steep climbs, rugged coastline, and endless miles of Cornish beauty (and pain!), they took it all in stride — powered on by sheer determination and the awesome support of Hayley, who was there cheering them on every step of the way. 🙌💚

An incredible effort from start to finish — you’ve made the whole ECH crew proud! 👏
