After the Newcastle Parkrun was called off we took a trip to the third running of the Whitley Bay Parkrun. Brian Hetherington set new record figures after a hard fought battle at the third Whitley Bay Parkrun.

The Wallsend Harrier was quickly to the fore after a manic start and was tracked by Tynedale Harriers' Alan Copeland before Hetherington's strength began to show as he came home 26 seconds clear.

Saturday 9th June saw the 32nd running of the Blaydon Race. The famous race started at the bottom of Newcastle's Bigg Market and is steeped in Geordie tradition.

This year's race has added significance as it celebrated the 150th anniversary of the event that the famous song was written about:

''Aw went to Blaydon Races, 'twas on the ninth of Joon,
Eiteen hundred an' sixty-two, on a summer's efternoon;
Aw tyuk the 'bus frae Balmbra's, an' she wis heavy laden,
Away we went alang Collingwood Street, that's on the road to Blaydon"
