The Newcastle Parkrun this week saw a whopping 342 finishers which is close to the record of 367. There were 67 new registrations which for an event which has been running for years now and is nothing particularly new, is quite some feat. We're sure last weekend's Great North Run action spurred quite a few of those new registrants into action, but isn't that the point?
What a morning for a run in the park. Conditions were perfect out on the Town Moor for some good running but would the winner break the magic 17min barrier?

Morpeth's Ian Harding made it 2 wins in a week after winning Sunday's Tynedale 'Jelly Tea' 10 mile road race which also incorporated the North East 10 mile Championships. He followed up his win at Tuesday's Blyth Links 10k with yet another win on the local circuit. Helen Waugh from Tyne Triathlon took the ladies race in very hot conditions in one of the most picturesque races on the North East scene which starts at Hexham before going through Corbridge and finishing at Ovingham. |
