The recipient of our Local Hero Award, sponsored by Freewheel, has put in over 50 years organising races
Organising this year’s Road Race National Championships was the latest of a long list of achievements from our 2018 Local Hero, Peter Harrison.
“My mantra has always been to put back in the sport more than you take out, so I was very proud, humbled and honoured to have been awarded this,” Harrison told us. “It’s the first time I’ve been nervous going on stage — when my photo came up I thought, this is getting real!”
Harrison’s life in cycling dates back to the early 1960s when he joined Gosforth Road Club, aged 14.
