Normal cross country not tough enough for you? Too short? Not competitive enough?
Adam Brown reports on his trip to the Northern Cross Country Championships with our club champion – hard core!
Treasurer goes to Iceland – doesn’t buy anything
Courtesy of club funds (just joking) our treasurer Paul Holborow recently made a trip to Reykjavik for their New Years’ Eve 10k.
An 11:30am start sounds leisurely but then again sunrise isn’t until 11:20!
And anyone that thinks Cross Country is cold should think again.
Well worth a read and who better than our finance man to guide you through how to do a trip on a tight budget.

Sprint Tri Ponteland Logo
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
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
