Sean Kelly reports from the annual Good Friday Relays. It was Good and it was Friday. Kenny Mac has a store of terrible jokes which are only funny if you bear in mind that they are meant to be awful. One of which is, “Why are they called the ‘Good Friday Relays’? Answer, ‘They are …

Below is a list of members who took part in parkrun at the weekend (Saturday 23 March). Admittedly it’s a shorter list than usual, but considering it was the final cross-country race later that same day, and it was perishing on the Moor (even more so than usual) then you can understand the fairly low turn-out. …

Well done to the small contingent of Tyne Bridge Harriers who travelled to Thirsk on Sunday to take part in the annual Thirsk 10 Mile road race. Although it was nowhere near as cold as Prudhoe x-c the previous day, the wind was just as strong, with many runners reckoning it put minutes on their finishing times (not that old excuse again ;-)). Nevertheless, with so many …

Well, that’s the cross-country season over for another year, and what a season it has been for Tyne Bridge Harriers. The men stormed Division Two, notching five 1st place finishes in the first five fixtures and winning the Division Two title just one year after gaining promotion from Division Three. And the women weren’t to be out-done either. After …

After calming down, Simon Pryde has sent in this race report from the Liverpool Half Marathon. On Sunday, I did the Liverpool Half Marathon. With the Marathon des Sables just 3 weeks away I’d begun my taper, but fancied a race to keep things ticking over. So off I trundled in the ageing …
