Messengers (7)

I think it could be either:

runners

heralds

(Other definitions for runners that I've seen before include "Horizontal branchs that produce new plants" , "messengers?" , "Joggers" , "They deliver messages on foot" , "Shoots" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Telegraph.
