Huge congratulations go out to Tyne Bridge Harrier Jude Smith who starts work with The Tony Blair Sports Foundation next year.
Saturday 5th November marked the 2nd race in the Tyne Bridge Harriers Winter GP Race 2011. We had 7 athletes taking part in this event.
Phil Brown has posted this excellent report from the Lancaster Half on Sunday. Three months ago, my mate Mark had asked me if I fancied doing the Lancaster Half Marathon with him in November. Since our last race (my first) back in March, we needed another challenge to keep us motivated, so we signed up and started training again.
Our ‘Flying Doctor’ Dan ‘The Scan’ Birchall sends in this report from Sundays Gibside Fruitbowl Trail Race. The Gibside Fruit Bowl is a 6 mile trail race that takes place every autumn at the Gibside Estate
Jude Smith has sent in this excellent report from the Ladies Team from Farringdon. Having missed the Relays in September, this was my first visit to Farringdon, but I’d heard a lot of tales about ‘the hill’ and ‘the stream’ from more experienced runners.
Just a reminder to everyone that the Track sessions commence […]
Tyne Bridge Harriers recently welcomed our 100th signing to the club. Actually, it was two. Both James Robson & Holly White joined with TBH together on the same night qualifying them both as joint 100th members !!.
This Saturday, 5th November, is the date for the second […]
A few months ago, me and a couple of friends decided that running the Snowdonia Marathon was a good idea. I’d ran the race once before and swore at the finish line never to run it again. Anyway almost four years down the line I found myself back at the start line.

The tone for the day was set for TBH by the time the under 11 boys race set off. Our rising star, Leodhais Macpherson was turned away from the start by an official as he had just celebrated his 11th birthday. It was unclear whether or not he was permitted to run with the under 11s,
Mr Moir sends in this report 'fresh' from the field of the Newcastle Town Moor Marathon. The idea of a 5 lap marathon puts many people off this marathon, but not 4 hardy TBH-ers. People often consider it to be an easy but boring course, but I’ve always found it to be a bit trickier than just that.

Tyne Bridge Harriers‘ very own Tony ‘TC’ Carter was the first Brit to cross the line at the Venice City Marathon at the weekend. He reports back from his ‘Epic Win’ at the VCM
Today, I received an email from the Scotland Masters Manager Alistair McFarlane telling me that I have been selected for the International against England, Northern Ireland, Eire and Wales at Bellahouston Park on November 26th 2011, 2 days before my 44th birthday.
Saturday the 22nd of October 2011 heralded the Scottish Cross Country Relay Championships at Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire. So while my fellow Tyne Bridge Harriers were making a name for themselves in far flung places like Venice and South Shields I was up in Scotland running for Cambuslang.
Well done to the 5 gents who represented Tyne Bridge Harriers on Saturday by putting in some solid performances.
This Week’s training sessions for Groups 1, 2 & 3. […]
