Following last weekend’s Great North Run, it has been announced Tyne Bridge Harriers were the top rated affiliated club in the race.
The GNR was the third round of the 2014 Great Run Club Challenge, a competition for affiliated clubs and registered athletes promoted by Great Run in partnership with England Athletics.
To qualify, clubs had to be affiliated with England Athletics and field at least seven male and seven female registered athletes. The winners, with an average time of 1:25:43, were Tyne Bridge Harriers. The club now goes into a draw for the chance to win the once in a lifetime adventure: to train and race in Ethiopia.
