26 April 2026 - London

With 32 finishers the club were very well represented. Perhaps fittingly in the largest field in the event’s long history, this was the highest number of club members finishing since 2015. Moreover, for the second consecutive year over half of our runners finished in under 3 hours, including 3 under 2:30, and 10 under 2:45.

Among numerous impressive runs and PBs, the standout was Andrea Clement, who broke the women’s club record by 21 minutes, clocking 2:32:11. This placed Andrea 3rd female among the mass start (15th overall) and we believe ranks as 3rd fastest GB FV40 of all time.

Ollie Knowles retained the men’s Club Champion title, recording 2:25:20, a 2 minute PB, and well inside the top 100 finishers among the masses. Even closer to the (very) sharp end was second claim member Charlie Davis, in 2:14:48.

Report Closing 5 and Bennett Cup Final Results

BHAC-Reporter — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 13:28:39 +0000

28 March 2026 - Norman Park

Closing 5 mile. The traditional cross country season finale saw 21 athletes toe the line for the Closing 5 mile, preceded by a small but strong field of 6 in the Junior 3km race.

The 4 boys in the Junior only event decided to use it as a training run, and finish hand-in-hand, and so with one U13G and one U15G we had 6 winners.

On a similar theme, a few of the runners in the 5 mile handicap also stopped short of ‘full gas’.

Under 13 Luc Jones was successful in outwitting the handicapper, being 1st home by some 2 minutes, while Jasmine Stephens and Liz Bunn also ran strongly to complete the top 3 on the day. Outgoing president Steve Pairman was not far behind in 4th.

In the season long competition the handicapper’s system of recutting scoring to include only those who could have completed the (maximum) 5 scoring events including this one meant that David Adams held onto his narrow lead over Jon Pairman despite saving his legs for the Southern Road Relays the next day. Third overall Greg Firth was also not at his fastest given he was about half way through a 20+ mile training run on the start line. Congratulations David and Greg for completing all 7 events in the series.

Report – UK National Inter Counties Championships

ClubPresident — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:46:16 +0000

7 March 2026 – Report from Paul Austridge

1926 was the first edition of the UK National Inter Counties Championships and 100 years later, Nottingham played host to this year’s top class series of races. With all English counties sending their top athletes, along with the best of Welsh and Scottish athletes, racing was always going to be of a high quality.

U13 boys
Three BBHAC U13 boys helped Kent win the UK gold team title. Another very strong run from Zach Evans placing a superb 10th, with Emery Aldridge also having a superb run, just three seconds behind in 13th.
Luc Jones’ impressive debut season ensured his Kent selection in his first year in this age group and ran well in this first class company.

U17boys
The U17 National Club Champions continue to impress, picking up two individual medals, Joe Scanes a strong silver and Joseph Hill a fine bronze. Backed up well by great runs from Ben O’Grady, Nathan Clark and Daniel Horgan. Oliver Ward started well but unfortunately had to pull out mid race.

U15 girls
Evie De Bruyn had another strong run placing a high 35th in a very competitive field. Strong runs from Sofia Mossi, representing Middlesex and Alba Homans Yau running in the dark blue of Kent.

U13 girls
Three BBHAC athletes representing Kent in the under 13 race, saw Jazzy Stephens, in her second National Inter Counties, placing high and great debuts for year young Sophie James and Elsa Matthews, both making strong accounts of themselves.

U15 boys
Johnny Lee toed the start line after selection following his fine county bronze and ran hard over the tough hilly 4K course at Woolaton, but was disappointed with his run, great fuel for the up coming English schools XC champs.
The National inter counties also double up as the final fixture in the British Cross Challenge and great to see Benj Evans entered and running hard, against the best in the county, placing well up the field.

U20 men
Alex Middleton made the short journey from his University to the course and had a very strong run over the hilly 6K course, placing a high 42nd and another strong run in county vest for Harry Fage.

U17 girls
Naimah Mossi was the only BBHAC under 17 girls racing and Naimah ran well in the county colours of Middlesex.

Senior Women
On the back of strong National XC run it was great to see Niamh Bridson-Hubbard looking strong and relaxed as she won a fine bronze, helping her Kent team to an eighth position backed up well by Ailbhe Barnes, Milly Smith and Carys Firth all having great runs.

Senior men
Good to see Sam Parsons selected for Kent and running well helping the Kent team place well.
2nd claim Jack Shayler was an impressive 14th, running in his county colours of Oxfordshire.

Being selected for these championships is an achievement in itself, as is being selected as reserve, in the very competitive county of Kent. Congratulations making that list go to Holly Tallack, Akul Gurunathan, Aniket Iyenger, and Dexter Mein.
Kyla Dervish and Andrea Clement were also selected but were unable to run.
Hannah Clark was also selected but this Championship race was trumped by her selection by Great Britain to represent GB in the up coming World student games. Best of luck in Italy Hannah.

21 February 2026 - Sedgefield

Young Athletes Report by Paul Austridge

The iconic National cross country champs returned to the North East for the first time in over a decade, with East Hardwick Park, Sedgefield, County Durham playing host. The weather was not cold, blowy but dry and the course more challenging than it first appeared.

Fifty one Blackheath & Bromley young athletes had made the long journey up north, as well as thirteen in the Senior Men (8) and Senior Women (5). Most of the youngsters were on the team Coach, which after a couple of fuel/comfort stops arrived in time for a shake out run at the Country House hotel we were staying at, before a swim in the hotel spa and a little time to relax.

Dinner was good and the evening was complete with coach Mike Reeves motivational challenge for each athlete, giving them the opportunity to speak positively about the person sitting next to them.

A full choice of breakfast the next morning before for a short journey to the course and some brilliant racing, that ultimately saw BBHAC win superb team gold for the under 17 boys and team silver for the under 13 boys.

Five of our large under 15 boy squad toed the line and placed 14th team with Johnny Lee placing an impressive 25th backed up by Ricardo Cervera-Tomlins (90 places higher than last year ), Benj Evans (150 places higher than 2025), Jack Barlow and JP Bremerkamp completing the squad.

Our under 17 girls placed team 12th with strong runs from Naimah Mossi, Aoife McDonagh,
Niamh Stanley all inside the top hundred and Charlotte Stevens and Lily Bridgeman just a few places behind .

The under 15 girls made the top 10 with an eighth place team finish. Evie De Bruyn led the team home in 33rd, backed up well by Harriet Hughes, Sofia Mossi, Alba Homans-Yau, Eva John, Beth McGillivray, Lily Day, Amelie Ramdeen (90 places higher than 2025), Aoife Stanley, Elliot Amos and Isabella Jenkins back to racing after injury, completing the squad.

Our U13 girl went one better placing seventh team with Jazzy Stephens coming a very strong 31st
(50 places higher than 2025) backed up well by Lucy Junginger, Sofia James, Zara Lett and
Elsa Matthews all making the top hundred. Holly Tallack,Ella Nixson, Molly Sedgwick, Arianne Paranjpe and Alice Bunn completing the strong large squad.

Team silver for our under 13 boys with a superb and gutsy sixth place finish for Zach Evans
(60 places higher 2025) with Emery Aldridge not far behind and year young Luc Jones and Anthony Streich completing the scoring four. Great runs by Fletcher Kelly, Haydn Kenny and Alex Coe all making their national debuts.

National team Gold for our under 17 boys with a superb individual 3rd for Joe Scanes and a fast finishing fourth for Joseph Hill, backed up superbly by Oliver Ward in 35th and Ben O’Grady in 38th. Showing our strength in depth in this age group Aniket Iyenger was 41st and Kian Farrell not far behind with
Nathan Clark and Madalitso Valema-Mwanza completing the strong squad.

Our U20 teams were both just one athlete short of a scoring team but this didn’t stop a superb top 20 finish for Jed Starvis in 19th with Harry Fage just missing out on victory in the 1K bicarb challenge and Mark Constable finishing despite carrying a legend injury.

Strong runs from Cary’s Firth and Kyla Dervish in the under 20 girls completes our very impressive Young athlete result round up.

Back to the hotel for downtime, including swimming and sauna before a lovely three course meal and then our awards, quiz and bingo evening This year we awarded prices for the most improved athletes from the South of England to the National cross-country champs, winning Adidas kit generously donated by Joe Scanes and Club kit .

The most improved awards this year went to

U13 girls Zara Lett
U13 boys Anthony Streich
U15 girls Evie De Bruyn
U15 boys Johnny Lee
U17 girls Lily Bridgeman
U17 boys Aniket Iyenger

A great weekend was had by all but huge thanks to past president Dave Cordell and daughter Alice Cordell for missing breakfast, to get to the course early, to pitch the club tent in the perfect spot. Huge thanks also to Lynda Poyroo for finding and booking the posh hotel, Claire Austridge for organising and chaperoning the weekend and coaches Andy Frankish and Mike Reeves for all their chaperoning and coaching duties, Karen Barlow (expert lifeguard duties too) and Tim Soutar for their chaperoning duties, along with Steve Starvis who devised and perfectly delivered the quiz.

Already looking forward to the 2027 version. It is worth noting that this event is normally around the February half Term, to avoid missing this great weekend please don’t book your half term holidays yet.

In the Senior events, the Senior Women achieved a high impressive 4th place, led home by Niamh Bridson-Hubbard in 9th, Andrea Clement in 12th and Ailbhe Barnes and Millie Smith packing well in 38th and 42nd respectively. Gracie Horton was 248th.

The Senior Men were a respectable 36th in the 6 to score format with scorers Dan Kennedy (262nd), Will Reedman-White (289th), Dave Adams (300th), Micah Evans (382nd), Ian Scott (594th), and Barry Horgan (863rd). President Steve Pairman (879th) and Chris Martin (1012th) completed our contingent.

Report Double Mob Match

BHAC-Reporter — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 14:14:31 +0000

14 February 2026 - Epping Forest

Injuries and illness along with an element of fixture congestion saw us take a smaller than hoped contingent of just 10 runners to Epping Forest with Orion Harriers hosting the double mob match day between us, them and South London Harriers.

Conditions underfoot were as tough as anyone could remember with copious quantities of mud and standing water to get through, although the day itself was dry and bright.

With 30 runners Orion’s victories against both the visiting clubs was never in doubt. However, with 13 runners, SLH’s numerical advantage was modest and made for a tighter contest between us and them. After 12 successive defeats it was a case of ‘lucky 13’ as with six of our runners in the Top 20 overall compared to only one SLH competitor finishing by that stage we came out on top in a 9-to-score match.

Katy Sugden beat the handicapper with 1st place in the Bennett Cup on the day, as well as a credible 4th position of 17 ladies. In the overall season long Bennett Cup it is very tight between David Adams, Greg Firth and Jon Pairman, with just the Closing 5 to come next month.

Report Zuiderpark Parkrun Trip

BHAC-Reporter — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 15:29:01 +0000

7 February 2026 - The Hague

A group of over 25 club members along with a handful of guests from Petts Wood Runners and Bromley Vets travelled to The Hague in the Netherlands to take part in Zuiderpark Parkrun, securing the letter “Z” for the popular parkrun alphabet challenge.

The group departed on Friday morning, arriving in The Hague in the evening and enjoyed a relaxed meal and drinks together ahead of parkrun day.

On Saturday morning runners made their way to Zuiderpark, with some choosing to run to the start while others made use of the city’s efficient tram network. The event attracted 187 participants, including 83 runners from the UK, giving the morning a strong British presence.

Zuiderpark offers a fast, flat, two-lap course set within a pleasant park environment, and members produced some excellent performances:

Philip Bunn secured 1st place overall
Oliver Treasure finished 9th
James Webber achieved a top-10 placing
Katy Sugden was 2nd lady

In addition Iain Swatton, Dave Beadle, Jenny Leng (PWR) and Ian Montgomery all completed their alphabet challenge at Zuiderpark.

Following the parkrun, a number of the group took the opportunity to explore The Hague, enjoying a guided tour and taking in the history and character of this attractive city before returning to the UK on Saturday evening.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend that showcased the very best of the club — strong performances, friendship and shared achievement. Thank you to everyone who travelled and took part; your enthusiasm and support made the trip so memorable.
