I was busy last weekend so had no time to provide a round up…
Blyth Sands
Starting with Blyth Sands a unique race where staring times are staggered depending on a persons race category.
It’s a fun event, all on the beach with a chance of a dip in the sea depending on tides…
Susanne was our first over the line, Gillian just behind and Sydney not too far back.
Run Northumberland Big 10miler
Like, Andy and Jeff love a Run Northumberland event and all three were in action last weekend.
Luke was our first home and 2nd finisher overall with a brilliant time. Andy was next up followed by Jeff.
Running GP Croft Circuit
With plenty distances to choose from, Dave Allen opted for the half and took time off his PB.
Aiming for 1.45, Dave ran a great race, dragging his mate round, to finish in 1.35. A great debut run!

We’ve replaced the 10 mile race options which are hard to find and awkward to fit into a race schedule with ‘off road’ options – this is to encouraged XC participation.
