Club Races

Huncote Hash

The Huncote Hash was started back in the mid 1980s after an initiative by Mr Ted Toft (Leicestershire & Rutland AAA) to return to ‘back to basics’, low cost, no prizes cross country racing. Four races were created and the Huncote Hash is still enjoyed today.

The Huncote Hash takes place on the last (or sometimes first) Sunday of the year. The race takes in local footpaths around the Huncote Leisure Centre, a climb over Croft Hill and the odd skirmish into the stream. Snow, ice, frost, mud and even sunshine have all graced the Hash over the years.

Everyone running receives an equal prize of soup and a roll and the satisfaction of battling the elements.

Joy Cann 5

A 5 mile road race through Huncote, Narborough and Enderby, the race established in 1993 and run in the memory of HHAC club runner Joy Cann who actively took part in the club and local league races as well as completing the 1990 London Marathon.

Currently a LRRL Summer League race, this is a popular race that is usually oversubscribed so it is advisable to submit your entries early. The race is usually run on the first Wednesday in August at 7:30pm. A top class field from around the county along with many club and unattached runners make this a great event with an excellent prize list and a significant proportion of the profits are donated to local charities.
