Bamburgh 10k/Borrowdale Trail Run/Gibside Parkrun/Workington Parkrun/Newcastle Parkrun

An excellent 14 Harriers turned out for the Run Northumberland Bamburgh 10k on Sunday 15th June. First Harrier home in 13th place was Adam FLETCHER in just over 37 minutes. He was followed by Steve PATTERSON, one of a number of Harriers who secured 10k pb’s today, knocking off 30 seconds from his previous best time at the Clive Cookson 10k a few weeks back. Jim LILLICO was next across the line, his time securing the male 55 category win! Well done also to Cris ATWELL who improved on recent 10k’s, Lee BOWYER for a pb and Mark HUME who was over 2 minutes quicker than in the 2013 race.

For the women first Harrier to complete was Kim REDPATH. She was followed by Alex REED and Ruth DOCTOR, who had had a good battle throughout. For Ruth it was a 10k pb and a first 10k under 50 minutes. Thanks to a Graham SYERS marathon training plan she has secured 5k, 10k and Blaydon Race pb’s in recent weeks! Another happy Harrier was Shelley COATES who just keeps knocking chunks off her pb’s this year. Shelley beat her previous best, which was at Blyth in the spring, by 11 seconds!
