Happy New Year : Tyne Bridge Harriers @ The Resolution Run, Newcastle Town Moor
Tyne Bridge Harriers had 8 club athletes out on New Years Day to take on the Resolution Run. Its a two lap course mainly on grass which takes in both the hills on Newcastles Town Moor. The annual race is organised by Paramjeet Bhogal of Heaton Harriers and this year was sponsored by sports & fitness suppliers Up & Running in Gosforth.
All proceeds of the entry fee go to support & raise money for St Oswald’s Hospice and Water Aid
This year there were a record number of 204 entrants with 200 finishers which raised over £2,000 split between both charities.

With so many entrants this year, there was a slight delay to the start as people got registered in the cold & crisp morning & after a short ‘fun run’ for the children supporters, the main pack got set away.
Conditions were ‘clarty’ underfoot for the 5.35 miles that was recorded by most GPS watches, and with the two hills on the Moor being ‘conquered’ twice it certainly blew away any cobwebs that any of the runners taking part may have had.
This years race was won by Phil Wylie of Bristol & West AC who recorded a superb time of 29:55. The women’s’ winner was Claire McManus from North Shields Poly in 38.27.
Tyne Bridge Harriers’ Mark Hall put in an excellent & solid performance to finish in 5th place in 34:22 after a great race between himself, Brian Hetherington 34:07 (Wallsend AC) & Lucas Longman 34:20 (Heaton Harriers)

Great running lads .
Its good to see the 1st proper sighting of the Embleton of the Dave’s this year as well ,
some of our club were actually asking if this was a fictional creature or character or does he actually exist!
Well there he is TBHs above with all the other Daves and expect him to be a regular from now on
really good run this one and a great turnout from TBH. Superb running from Mark and also Dan & Micky B.
Mint to see Davy Embleton around different sections of the course too.. Cheers.
Thinking of doing this course as a regular training run.. maybe once a month if anyone is interested.
Well done everyone. Great to see such representation for TBH – both in terms of numbers and success.
