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 …

Many, many congratulations to Jude Smith on finishing her first marathon. Completing the scenic course in 5h 17m 35s, Jude was the only TBH member to start AND finish the race after David Daniels had to withdraw after 18 miles due to severe stomach cramps. Sadly, David Moir failed to start the race due to a chronic chest cold. One …

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. Having staggered round Morpeth, Edinburgh and Cragside next on the list was the Kielder 10k, staged the day before …

On Monday 1st October the England Athletics Regional Awards were held at Gateshead International Stadium. And as a measure of how far Tyne Bridge Harriers has come since being formed 18 months ago, it was nominated in the Development Club of the Year category. Unfortunately, the club missed out on the award after being pipped by close neighbours, Heaton Harriers, but just …

Tyne Bridge had five members running in the 30th Redcar Half Marathon, and although the strong westerly winds made life difficult, every one of them performed stoically.

Congratulations to club members, Steve Cairns, Alex Lockwood and Chris Graham, who completed this year’s Loch Ness Marathon. Just a few days after running a 55min 10 mile race, Steve ‘jogged’ around the marathon in a time of 2:52, and as David Coleman would probably have commented, “That is quite remarkable”. Alex posted a superb time of 3:27, …
