Whalton 5M Road Race.
Whalton Village, Northumberland.
Sun. 30th Sept.
Morpeth Harrier, Les Atkinson repeated
his 2005 victory in yesterday's third Whalton 5M Road Race.
The early lead was contested by new
veteran, Mark Armstrong of Hartlepool and Lee Millmore of Birtley,
before Atkinson 50m adrift after 1M (5:11) caught the pair at 1.5M on
the hilliest section of the course.
Atkinson quickly pulled away, to gain
victory..
Millmore who faded to 4th at halfway,
recovered to take second place gaining some 100m on the winner in the
final mile. Blyth's Ash Henderson took third place ahead of Armstrong.
Atkinson at 52, was also the leading veteran.
Tynedale's Karen Robertson, also a
veteran, easily won the Womens' race bettering the course record by
39secs. Jayne Goble of North Shields, who set the previous figures when
winning last year, took second place, with Sue Calvert, another veteran
from Morpeth, finishing third.

came in 4th just ahead of Sunderland's Steven Potts.

Veterans' title crossing the finish line in seventh place overall. The
team of Tim Field, Paul Merrison, Paul Collins and George Harden, were
never headed.
Scottish International Freya Murray of
Chester Le Street easily won the Womens' race from clubmate, Alyson
Dixon. Former Morpeth Harrier, Carolyn Dickie, now living back in the

Middlesbrough Tees Pride 10km Road
Race.
Sun. 16th Sept.
Cleveland-based Steven Hepples
repeated his 2006 victory in yesterday's 3rd Tees Pride Middlesbrough
10km Road Race.
A record field of just under 2000
runners took part, but the windy conditions meant fast times were
out of the question. Hepples and Gateshead Harrier Alan Buckley dropped
Scotland-based Kenyan Zakary Kihara at the 4km point. Passing through
halfway in 14:59, the pair were still together, until Hepples kicked
away from his rival in the final km.
Buckley, resident near Leeds, who
makes his Marathon debut in Berlin in two weeks time, took
second place with Kihara finishing third.
Hepples took the incorporated North
Eastern Counties' title with Stewy Bell of Chester Le Street (6th) and
Terry Wall of Morpeth (7th) taking the minor medals.
Gary Dunn of Thirsk in 5th position,
was the leading veteran.
Birmingham-based Kenyan Catherine
Mutwa easily won the Womens' race finishing in 18th place
overall. Mutwa smashed the 2-year-old course record by a massive
1min 43secs.
Claire Robson of Teesdale took second
place ahead Josephine Buckley of Halifax, wife of Alan.
Robson took the North Eastern title
ahead of 2006 winner, Louise Noble of Sunderland who finished
in 5th this time. Lisa Finlay of North Yorks Moors in 6th, took
the bronze medal and was also the leading veteran.

Sept.
Low Fell's Jon Archer was a
comfortable winner of yesterday's 19th Tynedale Jelly 10M Road Race

Buis covered the break for a while, but dropped back only to be
overhauled by Hand in the final half mile.
Archer's margin of victory was 29secs,
with second-placed Hand taking the leading veteran's prize. Buis
finished third while Morpeth led by 7th placed Ian Handyside took the
team title.
Newcastle University student, Jess

Round-up
(to 2nd Sept).
Congratulations to all our medallists and pb performers at the recent
World Championships. Not sure who was giving advice to our 1500m
runners, who were told to run the shortest possible route ? All
this resulted in the athletes being completely boxed in at vital times.
As Steve Cram says, it pays to run wide even if it involves covering an
extra distance. Johanna Jackson finished 25th in 20km Walk
(99:34) behind Russian O Karishkina (90:09). Unfortunately Vicky Barr
did not get run in 4x400m. However, in final I think the running order
cost us silver. I found myself agreeing with Michael Johnson nearly all
the time.
