The Daves continue and our countdown to Christmas is nearing it’s finale. Today’s ‘Dave’ is a well known name face.. and voice in the North East Running scene.. especially renamed for this feature, please give a Christmas welcome to the one & only ‘Dave’ Baker
Hi folks, please find below some of the things going on over the festive period. Saturday […]
I started running when I was at school doing x- country and 1500m, as I got older the distances became shorter until I was running no further than 400m. When I was old enough to enter public houses the running stopped, I did do 5 GNR in my late teens/early twenties with little or no training....
With the advantage of a canny handicap, it was Tyne Bridge's very own Member of the Year, Rob Kirtley, who was first past the finishing line. Romping home in a time of 22m 26s (real time of 19m 46s), Rob was almost 3 minutes ahead of the second placed runner, Victoria Waugh.
Unlike some other Dave’s my running history goes back quite a few years. I was one of those who were bitten by the first Great North Run Bug back in 1981. I was 17 and it was something new and a bit different. The running boom was just beginning to gather a bit of momentum and we were going to have a massive race in our own back yard and I thought I could be part of it.
Today, on Dave 5 of our ‘run up to Christmas’, Dave Young gives us an insight into why he became a runner. When I was a teenager I wasn’t really interested in athletics, I grew up in Whitley Bay and used to spend a lot of my free time fishing.

Dave #4 already and we hope you are enjoying the festive fun. In the build up to the big day, we are celebrating everything that is DAVE in our 12 Dave’s of Christmas. Today we have managed to get a few words from our ‘very shy and retiring’ TBH Head Coach .. Mr Dave Anderson
Don’t forget to pick up your copy of the fantastic Northern Running Guide. This edition features the story of our multi-talented and awesome ultra distance runner Mark Allison (Run Geordie Run) and why he decided to join Tyne Bridge Harriers.

On Saturday 10th December, The very first Tyne Bridge Harriers Presentation Evening took place at The Police Club in Toon.
Our second installment of our Seasonal Feature, The 12 Dave’s Of Christmas continues today with our very own Club Treasurer .. Mr. Dave Moir
Having joined Tyne Bridge Harriers in September 2011 Mark Allison has not only proved that he is a competitive club runner but he also proved to be a real down to earth guy, pitching in with a vast array of raffle prizes, free samples of cherry juice and running apparel as well as being a regular at the Harrier League.
At Tyne Bridge Harriers, we have alot of Daves. So we thought it would be a nice idea to celebrate everything that is Dave this festive season with a profile of each of our special Athletes called Dave in The 12 Daves Of Christmas
