Weetslade Relays Report

Posted on by

Ponteland Runners were well represented with seven mixed gender and age teams for the Weetslade 2.5mile relays at Lockey Park in Wideopen.

There was shouting, clapping, aeroplanes, grass, gravel, a particularly large hill, a camping chair, lots of Ponteland blue – and yes some bloomin’ good running.

Of 100 teams we ranged from 28th to 85th. To top it off £2 from each entry went to charity! One to recommend for next year and thanks to Matty Bell for organising.
