Normal service resumed at Newcastle parkrun this Saturday, as the previous weekend’s glorious weather was replaced with cloudy skies and cool, damp conditions.

Tyne Bridge had seven members out running, with Club Champion, Tony Carter, …

Whatever next I ask. 11 members finished the 5k run, with David Appleby first finisher for the club in a time of 18m 44s. But despite Dave being …

Starting on the beach adjacent to South Shields pier, the race made it way along the coastline, taking in …
