First finisher for the club was Kevin Jeffress, coming home in 9th place overall. …

Race Reports

For the majority of us, running 5k at a parkrun is the best way to spend a Saturday. But not so for club members Alan Wallace and Colin Dilks. Instead they get their kicks from running up and down mountains. I’ll let Alan take over the story. Last year I ran the Kielder Blast which was part …
