Sat 2 March, Barley Four Preston Harriers were in Barley on Saturday 2nd March for the classic Stan Bradshaw Pendle Round. The about-9.3mi route (not quite the official 10.4mi) is named after a fell running and Clayton-le-Moors legend, being one of his favoured training runs. With almost 2000ft of climbing around six checkpoints, this is a serious test. Heading away from the old waterworks, and above the Lower Ogden Reservoir, is a solid climb to the Pendle Trig: about 1000ft

Sat 2 March 2019, Cuerden Valley The final Mid Lancs Cross Country race of the season saw Preston Harriers crowned double League Champions with the Senior Mens and Womens team winning the Division One title. The ladies had won it with one race to spare, but for the men it was a head to head title decider with Lancaster University.
