We had a great turn out at Heaton Memorial 10k at the Town Moor on Remembrance Sunday. Sixteen Wallsend Harriers congregated on a chilly but thankfully sunny morning.

The race is famously flat and proved a PB winner for several of our crew: Geoff (41.22), Kerry (47.57), Andy Wigmore (37.47) and new recruit Catherine Graham (48.29, a whopping 10 mins off her 10k time!) Sarah Robson was on cloud nine after breaking 40 minutes (39.39). She was 11^th female overall.

Simon was our first Wallsend male in 36.35 (41^st male).

 

 

 

The full team were Simon L, Martin Crozier, Andy Wigmore, Sarah Robson, Adam Hamilton, Geoff Cavanagh, Keith O’Donnell, Barry, Sam Crooks, Ian Gowing, Stephen Taylor, Emily James, Alan Heslington, Kerry Spencer, Catherine Graham, Mick Lindsay.

Well done for flying the green and gold everyone!

After a monumentally wet autumn and two cancelled x-countries as a result, a hardy bunch of green and golds were chomping at the bit to get their spikes into a whole lot of mud this November.

The season opening Winter Grand Prix got off to a flyer at Cobalt tonight.

Our juniors were out in force making up 14 of the 44 competitors at the start line, on a perfect night for running. They certainly let their presence be known at the sharp end of the results, taking the top 2 spots, with 5 overall in the top 10.

However there could be only one winner and young Elena tore round the 5k course to finish in 27:42 (23:02 actual), 30 seconds ahead of her closest rival.

? 27:42 – Elena Walker
? 28:12 – Beth George
? 28:20 – Paul James
