Newcastle Town Moor.

Newcastle Town Moor - Big Snowy Hill

Crook AC had a strong turnout for the first of the New Year Harrier league Cross Country events at Newcastle Town Moor. Two flat laps were followed by one long lap with a big hill to climb. Not so bad under normal conditions but considering there were a few inches of snow underfoot it may have been a good idea to equip with crampons.

Male Runners in finish order as follows: Name, time and position.
Fastest round the course was Patrick Duffy in 41:01.
The first 6 counters back were Ian McGrath 43.54 42, Sam Beckett 44.45 65, Patrick Duffy 41.01 100 (Fast Pack), Chris Fairless 46.17 108, Ian Sulmer-Hutchinson 46.19 109 and Graham Bradshaw 47.33 148.

An excellent Crook AC turnout for the first Harrier league Cross Country event for the 2009/2010 season at Farringdon, Sunderland. The weather was mild with conditions pretty good compared to last year’s ice covered course. Crook runners were competing in various races so there was plenty of action to watch.

Some great performances on a sunny day on Teesside for the Redcar Half Marathon.

Patrick Duffy, although reporting that he was disapointed still posted a fantastic time.

Owen Weightman and Graham Bradshaw crossed the line together but the photo finish gave it to the youngster. A massive PB for Owen who hasnt been under 1.30 before. Graham was second Vet 50 following a similiar place at Stokesley Duathlon last month.

John Stephenson matched his Great North Run performance by coming in 2nd Vet65.
