Dave Rowe reports from this year’s Ripon 35 Ultra race. In the week leading up to the race it appeared everyone around me was coming down with a cold so when it got to Friday night I was a relieved man that I had escaped its evil clutches. We set of …

Claire Grossett writes this fabulous report from the Kielder event. This was my first ever run-bike-run: my first event involving anything other than just my legs. I was understandably nervous that my two-wheeled friend would let me down. I had opted for a hybrid bike, rather than a mountain bike, as I hoped that what I lost …

Mark Reynolds reports back from the Kielder 10k on another successful afternoon for Tyne Bridge Harriers. It seems to be a fatal flaw of mine to only enter 10 km races that involve plenty of hills.
