But don’t let the fun run tag put you off, it has always attracted a quality field of locals (and Morpeth A string runners). The course is based on and around the Druridge Bay country park. The race is organised by a composite group of Continue Reading →
Race numbers should only be transferred with the race organisers knowledge and sanction. It causes race organisers significant problems compiling accurate results and allocating prizes. Passing numbers to people who are much faster, younger or indeed a different sex will always cause problems.

It ascends on farm track and then Continue Reading →
