Clear skies, a slight prevailing tailwind and cool temperatures brought out the very best in some of the club’s members in this year’s North Tyneside 10k race. Well done to all the members who took part in the race and many congratulations to those who recorded a PB. TBH times. I would also like to …

Sean Kelly reports from the annual Good Friday Relays. It was Good and it was Friday. Kenny Mac has a store of terrible jokes which are only funny if you bear in mind that they are meant to be awful. One of which is, “Why are they called the ‘Good Friday Relays’? Answer, ‘They are …

Well done to the small contingent of Tyne Bridge Harriers who travelled to Thirsk on Sunday to take part in the annual Thirsk 10 Mile road race. Although it was nowhere near as cold as Prudhoe x-c the previous day, the wind was just as strong, with many runners reckoning it put minutes on their finishing times (not that old excuse again ;-)). Nevertheless, with so many …

Many congratulations to club member, Ryan Hogben, after taking part in the Marathon Sevilla on Sunday, 24th February 2013.

Ryan’s split times were; 10k: 00:55:12, 21k: 01:52:55, 30k: 02:43:01, Finish: …

Despite looking and feeling more like the Arctic, the general consensus amongst the good folk of Newcastle parkrun was what a fabulous time they’d had running around the snow-bound Town Moor. And although the deep, crisp snow wasn’t ideal for fast running conditions, there were still a couple of PB’s to shout about. So well …

After the bad weather of late – and the enforced cancellation of several parkrun events – it was good to get back to normal and see so many club members take part in their local parkrun. 18 members turned out at Newcastle, with seven of them recording a PB around the Town Moor course, while …

A very special well done to the 7 Tyne Bridge members who travelled to Knowsley Park, Liverpool, on Saturday to take part in this year’s Northern Cross Country Championships. The recent poor weather meant the decision to hold the race wasn’t actually confirmed until the early hours of Saturday morning, which no doubt contributed to …

Well done to club members GEMMA BRADY and GAIL ALLAN for taking part in this year’s BUPA Great Winter Run in Edinburgh. The 5K race was one of a number of events on the day, and given the nature of the course (“the hills were hardcore” said Gemma afterwards), both ladies are to be congratulated. Gemma’s time …

Well done to all the club members who took part in the annual Resolution Run which raised around £2000 for St. Oswalds Hospice and Water Aid.

A big hearty well done to David Beech, David Daniels, James Knox, Sparrow Morley and Stephanie McFarlane for completing this year’s Guisborough Woods Fell Race. Not only did they have a challenging course to contend with, but a chilly easterly wind meant they couldn’t stand around for too long for fear of freezing to death. The recent poor …
