Great North 5km
It looks like there was only one of our athletes in the mass start 5km, Rob Coulson finishing 2nd in his age category.
Sophie Pickett is as back in action, running in the elite race. I’ve not seen the results for this race posted anywhere.
Great North Run
It was a fantastic turnout for the Great North Run. Luke was in fine form once again finishing in a time of 1.11 and our first home.
There was as lots of family battles out there, Ben and Sarah separated by 13 seconds. And in the Russell household, Bella beat parents Mike and Andrea by 1 second.
The conditions were perfect for decent times and looking at the results, i’m sure there was loads of PBs out there.
What a turn out and incredible runs by everyone!
Can’t work out where the results are for everyone but check out the link below.
Elswick Summer BBQ
Huge thank you to Luke Hillard and family for hosting a BBQ, the sun was out the help everyone mingle and have a good time.
