After a quieter week last week (nobody raced) we go into a full overcorrection with the club covering Blaydon, marathons, track 1500’s so without further a do, the results:
Blaydon Race – 9th June
A good soaking for everyone waiting for everyone at one of the north east’s favourite races which led to favourable racing conditions as all the lads and lasses ran along Scotswood road. (lasses positions on the left, lads on the right)
Heavy rain created an added difficulty around the scenic course at Low Fell. Despite the thorough soaking, everyone stayed upright ran well and enjoyed it.

Trail Outlaws Durham 5k
A fine performance from Elisabeth was rewarded in victory at the very undulating 5k at maiden castle
A contingent from the club made a weekend away a couple of hours up the road in Edinburgh for the Marathon Weekend. Conditions were significantly drier than the previous year allowed for an enjoyable weekend
The next fixture in the club Grand Prix featured the iconic pier to pier race a straight race from South Shields to Roker by any means necessary…. providing it was on foot and not via the road. Although the temperature had cooled compared to the previous days, but a massive tail wind aided everyone in their race to fast times and almost certain course best times. the maximum points being picked up by David Grimes and Kaye Collins
