New PB For Sonny!
One of our youngest Junior Harriers has been a regular face at the NYSD Cross Country runs this season.

Night Run For Gabby
For most of us, any 5k run is a challenge in itself, but Gabby Hall’s latest outing added a whole new dimension, as it was run in the dark! Sounds fine if you’re running round the town with plenty of street lighting to see where you’re going, but when you head off road it’s a
Rags to Riches
After a week which saw snow cause havoc on British roads as it does every year many expected (or hoped) that the weekend’s Cross Country may be called off at North Ormesby. No such luck!! Paul Lowe even dislocated his shoulder as a way of avoiding to run….I mean the lengths people will go to!
