On Saturday 16th October 2010 the Harriers fielded three teams of runners amongst the twenty one teams competing in the Parrett Trail Relays. The Parrett Trail Relay is a 6 stage trail relay run with varying distances of legs from 5.6 miles to 9.5 miles on permissive and public rights of way following the long distance path from the mouth of the river Parrett on the North Somerset coast. It crosses the country to finish just over the border in Dorset close to the source of the river at Winyards Gap. Not only does the course require stamina and speed but each athlete has to navigate their way along the leg. Although the route starts and finishes at the estuary and head of the river there are many extremely hilly sections to negotiate. All three teams produced excellent results with the Men's 'A' team finishing in first place, the Men's 'B' team finishing in 7th position and the Ladies team finishing in overall 12th position, taking the first Ladies team award. The teams entering the event consisted of all men, all ladies or a mixture, all of whom had to race over the same stages.
