If ever there was a day to be a Wallsend Harrier it was this day. Sunday 23rd April 2018. A day to come together in memory of our beloved, much-missed chairman Terry O’Gara. A day to run in green and gold, to support, to cheer, to give it your all and make him proud.
As Spring finally appears to be making an appearance, our Green and Golds have been doing the same at races across the North East and beyond…
Adam won the opening SGP of the season, coming home in a combined time of 17m20, with Kayleigh Dunn and Lee Pattinson completing the podium in 18m06 and 18m30 respectively.
Sam Charlton was the fastest male of the evening, equalling his own course record in 10m14. Not bad for supposedly taking it easy!
However the performance of the night goes to Erin Prior, who broke her own female course record of 12m40 with a tremendous 12m26!!! A brilliant effort indeed!
A fantastic turnout of 41 took part this evening. Full results are here.
Finally, a huge thank you to our event volunteers; Bill Todd, Mick Costello and Simon Williams for enabling the event to go ahead.
This Tuesday (17th April) sees the return of our Summer Grand Prix, with our first handicap race – a mere 2 miles, around the Rising Sun Country Park.
Have the handicap god’s been in your favour?
Can anybody catch last seasons Queen, Donna Thompson?
Let’s see you all at the Barking Dog for 18:30, with a 18:45 start, to find out how this season will unfold…
Our 2 prestigious and well recieved club events, the Terry O’Gara Memorial 5k and the Gordon Smith Relays are fast approaching.
