Middlesbrough Tees Pride 10K – 8th September 2013 One of the drawbacks to participating in a event is missing the closing stages of the race, and by all accounts this year’s Tees Pride 10k race was an absolute corker. Just one second separated the top 3 finishers, with man-of-the-moment Tadele Mulugeta (Elswick Harriers) claiming victory against fellow Ethiopian countrymen Yarod Hagos (Wallsend) and Wondiye …

Gallovidian 10k: 4th September 2013 by Alan Wallace My affair with Scotland began when I was a young boy. I remember my father being knowledgeable in Scottish history. When we took an extended caravan tour around the country in around 1977-78, travelling right up to the north and then down the western coast, the romance …

The inimitable Keith Rooney reports from Sunday’s 10M jaunt along the Tyne. I’ve always liked Ovingham, the way it’s snuggled in between the grand sweep of the Tyne valley and the Tyne itself, making its leisurely way to busier places.
