Sadly, a plunge in temperature in the early hours of Saturday morning resulted in the cancellation of both Newcastle and Gateshead parkrun events.

A very special well done to the 7 Tyne Bridge members who travelled to Knowsley Park, Liverpool, on Saturday to take part in this year’s Northern Cross Country Championships.
