...and why Ryde 10 could be the best 10 mile race locally Ryde Harriers and the Isle of Wight Road Runners travel over to us for eleven out of the twelve Hampshire Road Race League (HRRL) races so this is the chance for us to support them in what is notoriously known as a challenging course. … Continue reading Ryde 10 Mile 2016 – Paula’s Race Report
The Stubbington 10k race was amazing in which I achieved my personal best. I'd entered the race previously (as a non-running club member) in 2015, and the support that I received then was nowhere near as encouraging as this year. Over 100 Fareham Crusaders entered and they were all so supportive. On the Thursday before … Continue reading Stubbington 10k 2016 – Carrina’s Race Report

Myself and 21 others were ready for the 31 Mile Ultra marathon. However let's not forget the 5 doing the marathon and our sole entry in the half marathon. … Continue reading The Harbour 50K Challenge 2015 – George’s Race Report
I've had a really tough couple of weeks - possibly two of the toughest I've ever had and, in all honesty, I've been really struggling. I have a few close friends that I can talk to and the club has turned into a bit of a sanctuary but sometimes you just can't find the words … Continue reading Portsmouth Coastal Waterside Marathon 2015 – Michelle’s Race Report
This popular local flat course is often a PB chance for many, but today due to the very strong winds PBs were hard to find, though some still managed it. I arrived early at the Mountbatten Centre, partly to get a car space and partly to take advantage of a pre race massage from Jason the … Continue reading Victory 5 2015 – Mike’s Race Report
Dealing with injuries is frustrating enough - but coping with illness on top would test the patience of many a runner! This time on Captains' Corner, Debbie talks us through a challenging few months - finger crossed you're fit for Victory, Debbie! The season was going well at the start. I had been appointed Ladies Captain, something I never … Continue reading Captains’ Corner – Dealing with Injuries
One year ago I signed up to do Tough Mudder so I figured I really ought to start running! I started on a treadmill and managed 2 miles before giving up, exhausted. My friend, Mel suggested I joined Fareham Crusaders Running Club and I really have never looked back. Without the incredible support of this club I … Continue reading Gosport Half Marathon 2015 – Rebecca’s Race Report
Thanks for asking me to do a blog entry for the recent Lordshill 10 Mile event. I'm really happy that I have recently joined Fareham Crusaders as I have previously never run for a club. As a “hobby” runner turned “Club” runner I love winning points for the club, especially one with so much girl power. There was a good turnout of runners for this, the 3rd league … Continue reading Lordshill 10 Mile 2015 – Karen’s Race Report
