Almost 1000 runners finshed this years race, superbly hosted by Sunderland Strollers, and thankfully for the large contingent of runners, the poor weather of late relented (for a day at least) to provide them with some sunshine, a bit warmth and a welcoming North Easterly tail wind. Starting on the beach adjacent to South Shields pier, the race made it way along the coastline, taking in …

Here’s Kate’s take on the Sunderland 10k (or 10.1, or 10.2, what did your Garmin say?) It was an inauspicious start to Sunday. Woke up with a nagging pain in my upper back. It would be far more impressive if it had come from extensive training and exercise but the reality was it was …
