Newcastle Mo Run 10k

Two new members of the club, Claire and Gary O’connor got off to a good start last Sunday, both excelling in the Newcastle Mo Run 10k. This race takes place in Exhibition Park, but not to be confused with the Memorial 10k which is run earlier. In a field of 570 runners Claire finished 94th in 49:43 and Gary was 11th in 42:38.

Heaton Harriers Memorial 10k

Some members of the club chose to run in the Heaton Harriers Memorial 10k, which also takes place in Exhibition Park, but in the morning instead of afternoon. This is a good flat course but the strong wind and rain prevented any PBs being achieved.

John Surtees was first home for the club, 45th in 37:09 followed by Tracy Surtees, 191st in 42:50, Trish Kay, 377th in 50:20 and Susan Clark, 530th in 63:50.

 Helvellyn 10k Trail

Continuing his series of Helvellyn 10k trail runs Mark Wade once again achieved a brilliant 2nd place in the time of 37:54. The following day Mark ran in the Ullswater 10k trail run and was once again 2nd in 50:08 and Vivianne Pow competing in the Dalby Dash 10k, finished 190th in 53:34.

 Sedgefield Parkrun

In the Sedgefield Parkrun, Susan Cranswick achieved a personal best in the time of 23:42. Circuit training sessions are held Tuesdays 6pm to 7pm; Non-members welcome.
