Congratulations to Mark Summers and Andy Wigmore on completing Druridge Bay Half Marathon on Sunday (April 17).
This is Mark’s third half marathon this year, and his first off road. He is aiming to complete an epic 12 by the end of the year (next stop Sunderland on May 1). He finished in a great time of 1:55. Well done to Andy who finished in the early 1:30s (awaiting official time) and cheered Mark through the finish.
Another fantastic day for Wallsend Junior Multi Events athletes o Saturday (April 16th) at the NOTAN Quad Kids Grand Prix. The weather was appalling but kids are made of tough stuff and showed some great performances in sprint, endurance, throwing and long jump events. Well done Cara, Millie, Luke, Finton, Freya, Ella and Thomas!

A beautiful Spring day at Churchill Playing Fields track marked a number of firsts for us all on Sunday. It is the first time the event has been held, it was the first time our assistant coach Sam had put up the famous Wallsend tent (thanks Sam) and most importantly the first time our amazing Junior Multi-Event group of athletes had taken part in a competitive race.
I’m exhausted just writing this…
