10 Harriers took part in the Cragside 10k on Saturday 13th April, a race which saw a number of very good performances over the undulating course and which included age category wins for Bruce CROMBIE (male 40), Dave LOWE (male 45) and Gay EASTOE (female 55). Ruth DOCTOR was first Alnwick female home improving on her 2012 time in the same race by just under 2 minutes, whilst there was a Harriers debut for Laura McLEAN. A special mention should also go to Gay and Richard EASTOE who set their alarm for 4.30am to make the long trip to Rothbury from Cumbria!
