Weekend round up 26/1/25

Northern Cross Country Championships – Tatton Park, Manchester  

A couple of athletes travelled down to near the most southerly and westerly location in the North of England, where a flat and very dry course greeted the contingent upon their arrival at Tatton Park. Very much not in keeping with the strengths of anyone who lives in Consett. However, some good results came out of the unfavourable course, showing promise for the rest of the cross-country season.

Under 17 Women – 5.2k

Druridge Bay Half Marathon

The recent storm had not affected this sea front half marathon. Three from the club raced, all giving good efforts on this tricky multi terrain course. The club managed to celebrate a win with Ash coming home just 3 minutes ahead of second place for his maiden victory for the club.

Birtley Cross Country Relays

With many of the races over the weekend falling victim to the weather we were fortunate to have a couple of teams at the Birtley Cross Country Relays.   

Both teams showed good spirit despite the bitter conditions in the freezing temperatures as the fog rolled in. The 2 mile coursed proved a decent challenge of fast straights and short steep hills which everyone tackled well to post very respectable performances.
