Never in the history of the North-East Harrier League has a club in Division Three won, outright, the team competition. Until now that is… We did it! With many of our fastest runners unavailable, the men won the team competition, beating Gateshead by only 4 points. Every place gained over the six miles counted towards this historic victory.
This Sunday (9th October), our very own Mark Allison will be replacing his Black & White Tyne Bridge Harriers shirt for the Black & White Newcastle United shirt & taking to the football pitch to be part of the team to kick off The Entertainers : Reunited Match, Newcastle United v Liverpool.
By mistake I entered the GER 2011 thinking it would be ages after the Great North Run as it was in a different month. My mistake. The 14 days flew by and, without much in the way of training in the meantime, I headed north across the border for this 10k feeling a little under prepared.
We’d both ran this race in 2010 so knew what was in store but for some reason my recollection was of a much flatter course? We set off with race plans in hand, and pretty soon I realised we may struggle to stick to it. I remembered the first 3 miles were a bit up and down so had allowed for that, but was intending to make time up on mile 4.

Well done to all of our 3 teams who made the journey down to Warrington today to compete in the Northern Athletics 6 & 4 Stage Road Relay Championships.
What a fantastic final race of the Series we had this evening. There were a few tired, battered & bruised legs tonight after Sunday’s Great North Run, but we still had 36 Tyne Bridge Harrier Athletes / Friends & Guests line up for the sharp 2 mile gut busting blast around Jesmond Dene.

While alot of us were congregating at the start line of the Great North Run on Sunday, one of our most intrepid athletes was already if full swing of an Ironman event. If you thought that running from Newcastle to South Shields was tough. Have a read of Gareth Huxley’s report from the Challenge Henley – Ironman Triathlon
