On a balmy summer’s evening, a magnificent 77 members finished the 2nd race of the club’s internal grand prix series.

 

Setting off from Armstrong Bridge, the course winds it’s way through Heaton Park, before dropping down in the Jesmond Dene, past Pet’s Corner, and ending with a killer climb to the finishing line.

And with the race now incorporating a handicap system (members starting at different times according to their ability) it meant the evening was chock full of excitement.

First finisher on the night was Charlotte Carpenter, with Diane Pringle not far behind.

Thanks to great work by Paul Hilton, calculating every member’s handicap time, it meant nearly two-thirds of the field all finished within 30 seconds of each other, contributing to an exciting (and hectic) race finish.

Jack Neeson had the honour of running the quickest time of the night (10m 27s), and Carolina Freeman was the fastest female (12m 40s).

 

Well done to all those who ran and many thanks to all the members who marshalled or helped out on the night.
