Newton Aycliffe 10km.
Sun. 21st June.
Mongolian Serod Batochir strode to an easy victory in yesterday's 3M Aycliffe 10km  Road Race.
In the ideal conditions, the Morpeth Harrier broke away from the leading group of 7 runners on the second of the three laps.
The margin of victory was 43secs over James Bulman of North York Moors. Bulman's clubmate Paul Lowe, came with a late run to snatch third place from   Terry Wall of Morpeth (winner from 2003-2007).
Durham's Rob Hand was the leading veteran in 10th position.
Middlesbrough's Carolyn Summersgill repeated her 2009 victory in the Womens' race, finishing in 16th position overall, in the record field of 374 runners. Aiveen Fox of Morpeth (winner in 2005 and 2006) finished 2nd and Marie Stansmore of North Yorks Moors, 3rd.

Additional Comments:  Most of info used.  Results courtesy of Peter Johnson. 374 finishers (last time: 75:46). Apologies to Paul Lowe, who I omitted to spot was now M40, and consequently first veteran. Weather fine and dry. Probably got warmer as race progressed. Affected tailenders more. Kristian Forster dropped out after 2nd lap (about 6th) as he did not like the conditions. Other results included: 213 J Conaghan 49:02 (3rd M70): 241 D Whitmore 50:47 (act 50:50) (4th M70); 367 G Routledge 68:17.

Blaydon Race (5.9M)
Tues. 9th June.
Enclosed AW report (not used) as I did not cover it for Journal.
Full results on Joe Lee website.
Ian Hudspith became the first North East winner of this Mizuno-sponsored event since his brother Mark in 1997.
Justina Heslop returned to her native Newcastle to gain an emphatic victory in the Womens' race.
In the ideal conditions (bright but cool) a group of 7 athletes had broken clear of the 4000-strong field after 3M, before Hudspith and Raymond Tonui started to pull away. The pair were locked together until the 8.5km point, when Hudspith made his bid for victory. Hudspith, 3rd in 2007 & 2008, crossed the finish line at Blaydon Precinct 12secs ahead of his rival. The winner a 38-year-old Maths teacher was having his first race since March after sustaining a hamstring injury. He said after his victory which earned him £1000  "That is a bit special, because it was   obviously my brother before me. The runners coming over from Africa make it a very competitive race. Raymond (Tonui) wanted it as much as me, I was determined to do it".
Jean Ndayisenga took third place ahead of Mongolian Serod Batochia. Brian Rushworth who crossed the line in 14th position, was the leading "official" (M40+) veteran for the 4th successive year.
Morpeth easily retained the team trophy.
Heslop (30), who finished in a creditable 25th position, and a former Elswick Harrier, pulled away from Sarah Tunstall
after the halfway point to win the Womens' race. Her margin of victory was a rather surprising 33secs. Kenyan Joyce Kandie finished 3rd. Chester Le Street led home by 5th placed Emma Raven (formerly Waterhouse) retained the team title. Leading veteran Morag McDonnell was their third counter.
Neil and Sarah Wilkinson won the "Me and Wor Lass" Trophy.

Unfortunately due to an aching wrist, I could hardly write, which meant I did not note any performances. However, results did not arrive until pm Sunday, which was too late for Journal. Some of those listed are from memory and slightly variant. Grimes was actually 3rd in 800m. Amended/extra results to be added later.

Additional Comments:  Only results sent due to time lapse. A lovely evening. Good conditions and an excellent turn-out. However an extra Track event for Veterans, meant meeting finished a lot later than normal. North Shields Poly had a good evening. They introduced a "new" name in M70 age-group P Donaghy, who also defeated Reg Checkley in 100m and 200m. John Moore covered ground in 100m (24secs) and 200m (51secs).
