Well done to all those who have competed for Kettering Town Harriers over the course of the season and for all those who won an award.
A massive Thank you goes out to all those who have volunteered in helping out when Kettering Town Harriers host an event, without any volunteers the club would not be able to host any events. Finally a special thank you goes out to Kally Graham who put all the awards together.
