After being widely acclaimed as a fantastic venue for cross-country racing in 2012, the North East Harrier League returns to Alnwick this Saturday, 2nd March, for the 5th fixture of the season.
With only two races remaining, Tyne Bridge currently top Division 2 in the Men’s competition and are still in with a fighting chance of winning the overall Women’s title. But, as usual, the club needs another tremendous show of strength from it’s members.
The senior Men’s race starts at 1:15 with the Ladies setting off some time after 2pm.
Please find herewith travelling and parking details for the event.
