Grand Prix standings have been updated. Mark MILLER has won male division 1, John ROSS male division 2 and Lisa WILLIAMS female division 2. Well done to them! There will be no winner in female division 1 as nobody has run the minimun number of races to qualify (6). The final event is the Brampton to Carlisle 10 Mile Race in 3 weeks and there are still battles raging for second and third places!
Meanwhile John FAIRBAIRN was the sole Harrier taking part in the Jedburgh 10k, finishing as second over 60. He was 63rd of the 359 finishers in 45.26.
Also on Sunday 30th October Cris ATWELL and Mark DOCTOR took part in the Newcastle Town Moor Marathon. Cris ran well in his umpeenth marathon of the year to finish 54th of the 127 finishers in 3.44.29. Sadly Mark DOCTOR was not amongst the finishers pulling out at 23 miles with cramp!
