Brass Monkey Race Report
Race report from Heidi Finlay on the rather windy Brass Monkey half marathon. Well done to everyone taking part.
Town Memorial 10k Race Report
Well done to all the club runners taking part in today’s Town Moor memorial 10k race organised by Heaton Harriers.
This course gives runners a great chance to get a PB and at least 4 club members took advantage of that today (Paul O’Neil, Helen O’Neil, Matthew Levison and Lynn Midgley Ward) Well done especially to Matthew on breaking (or should that be smashing?) the 40 minute barrier for the first time. Special mention to Mick Meaney too as it couldn’t have been easy doing 10k whilst carrying a dog.
Gosforth Park Cross Country – Race Report
The week leading up to the 3rd round of NEHL XC saw local news reports of freezing temperatures with sleet and snow hitting the northeast by the weekend. The weather apps showed a cool dry day! So which was it to be? Susan Dorani provides a great race report with all the information.
Ironman Barcelona – Report 3 (the big one!)
If you get injured after entering an Ironman then you may as well go along and watch the misery (and ecstasy) of those who are taking part.
That’s exactly what Rich Winter did. A great report from him which is well worth a read.
Ironman Barcelona – Race Report 2
