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

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). 

We recently sent our roving reporter to spend the morning with the officials at the Whitley Bay event to see how much organisation goes on behind the scenes. In the first of two reports we see what is involved for the organisers to ensure the smooth running of the event while in Part Two who speak to Race Director, Heather Gould.
