Green and golds galore at Rising Sun Park Run


parkrunRemember, remember the 5th of November…

when Wallsend Harriers AC took over Rising Sun Park Run! And it was glorious.

The weather might not have been but it’s got considerably worse since so we were actually pretty lucky!

Over 250 runners, many of whom were donning a green and gold vest, took on the fast 5k course around the Rising Sun Country Park. There were PBs flying all over the place! Those who weren’t running could be seen marshaling, taking photos, handing out leaflets or generally helping out behind the scenes. Thanks to all who joined in, in whatever capacity. You did your club proud and you all get 50 points in the Winter Grand Prix series! Special thanks to Mick Day for organising.

Full results are on the Park Run website and there are lots of photos now on the gallery page of this website (thank-you Simon Williams!)

    I just wanted to sincerely thank everyone involved in Saturday’s Rising Sun Parkrun for making it the special event I felt it was. It was a great advert for our club and it was great also to see how well you all responded to my appeals to be there to help out. I hope you enjoyed yourselves despite the cold and rain!
    Whether you ran, paced, marshalled or volunteered in whatever capacity, well done to all of you and thank you!

    Special thanks also to Michael Day, Lyndsey Day, Jackie Garnett and all of the core team for allowing us to “take over” today. You do a fantastic job week in, week out!

    Regards all
