Norman Woodcock 5 mile - 24th November 2012

11/24/2012

Marc Elliot and Morag Stead were the victors in the traditional Norman Woodcock 5 mile, organised by Elswick Harriers.

Like many of our road races these days, the course has had to be changed on a number of occasions over the years due to traffic restrictions and road closures but the course around Gosforth Park Racecourse is now starting to establish itself as a popular one amongst runners.

As most of us know by now, the parkrun series is a regular fixture in our race calendar with 11 events in the North East region alone (and the 12th starting in December in Darlington).

Last month we rounded up the statistics from the local parkruns from September and we’re back again looking at October.

So what did October look like from a parkrun point of view then?

With the Great North run now a distant memory and the Harrier league kicking off to change the face of Autumn/winter Saturdays we were expecting a bit of a dip in numbers. But turns out actually it was a bit split across our North East.
