North Eastern Counties XC Championships
A hardy band of green and golds braved ice cold, gale force winds at Alnwick pastures on December 14th for the North Eastern Counties X-Country Championships.
Heaton Memorial 10K
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 11th female overall.
Simon was our first Wallsend male in 36.35 (41st 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!
