Sprint Tri Ponteland Logo

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Chris Heppell

Great to see the Sprint Tri Ponteland event logo, based on our Runners and Tri club logo’s.

We are very lucky to have a club member who had the skills to design our logo and create the brand for the Runners, the Triathletes and now our first event later this year.

Looking forward to “Sprint Tri Ponteland” on July 1st 2018. Hopefully all our Running and Tri club members will be there on the day supporting, volunteering, participating and enjoying the atmosphere. We are a very friendly club and aim to make the event as friendly and successful as the Go-Tri events have been over the last four years.

Xmas Handicap 5km

Posted on December 22, 2017 by Chris Heppell

Ponteland Runners traditionally run a handicap race annually, recently this has been just before Christmas, with many wearing Santa hats to add to the fun element of the event. This year, thanks to Matty we had 47 signed up for the run. On the night some dropped out and others turned up for a very positive 47 finishers.

Strava provides us with a great virtual view of the event. Great to see the faster runners having to work to try and chase down the field.

Great work by the volunteers to collect all the times when the finishers all come in so close together.

Results below showing the finishing order of the participants. Continue reading →
