Whatever your age, whatever your ability there was something that most people could get involved with last weekend. There was a whole series of events held throughout the North East to coincide with Sunday’s Great North Run, and of course, you just couldn’t keep some of our juniors away from the North East’s biggest sporting
On Saturday morning we had a small number of Harriers at the Great Tees 10km race, for some a warm up to Sunday’s Great North Run. On this relatively flat and fast course Tony Winward was first home in 9th place for the club with David Nalder 1stV65 on the day next home.Some excellent performances
16 Harriers headed to New Marske earlier this evening for the Autumn Coast Road 5K. Conditions were very windy with gusts up to 44mph and what must have seemed like a sandstorm hitting the runners head on as they made their way up the coast road. Despite the poor conditions, John Clifford was first across
While some of our juniors were busy at Cudworth, you might think the rest of them were sat at home with their feet up…..but not Olivia Bell and Tori Buckley! In fact, just the day before, they were both playing for Darlington FC U14 Girls, but today they got their running gear on and set
We had two of our athletes in Triathlon action this weekend in Lausanne, Switzerland, for the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final.

At this weekend’s Auckland Castle Trail race, it was one of our own who brought home the win on a course that is a little over 5 miles and features testing terrain with plenty of variation in conditions underfoot.

It’s that time of year again… As the Track & Field season draws to a close and the Cross Country Season is once again just round the corner, the popular NYMAC Relays takes place at Stewart Park. A cash prize for the winners is always a huge attraction and over 500 runners and athletics supporters
Looking back at last year’s Tartan Games photos was a stark reminder of how bad the English summer can be. As many of you will remember, it was a day for wrapping up warm as the rain gradually got heavier and athletes battled it out on a waterlogged track! In contrast, this year’s meeting took
Lee Hammond was in action on Saturday at the Coniston end to end swim, a 5.25 miles in open water. After experiencing a delayed start of 5 hours due to the weather and the feed stations being moved next to the shore, Lee along with his friend Chris got the job done, although Lee admits
