Race Round Up 31st May – 6th June 2021

Great to see a variety of events, disciplines and distances being covered by our athletes over the weekend. A huge well done to all getting out there and putting your body on the line, whether if it was an ultra-run, a superhuman triathlon or a track and field event in which some of our participants hadn’t done since school, its truly inspirational. You’re a credit to yourself, your family, our club and the incredible North East.
