The Endeavour events are getting very popular with the local club members with monthly alternate events from 1 mile to 5km. The course is 1km in length so it does mean multiple laps but that also helps with pace judgement. Some really great runs from everyone on the night, wannabe Darlington Harrier Dean Newton took
This Saturday the Northern Athletics XC Championships was held in the magnificent grounds of the Camp Hill Estate in Bedale, North Yorkshire. This is the first time an event has been used at this location but from reports it sounds like it may be used in the future. We had three of our senior men

Sprint Coach Steve ‘Flash’ Gordon was one of four Harriers involved in the Hamsterley Forest 10km race today. The race is an undulating/hilly route on tracks around the forest and for anyone who has never been to the area, these hills are ‘slightly’ bigger than Squirrel hill that’s found at Darlington Parkrun on a Saturday
Sunday saw the annual Great North Run take place, a race which two of our club members (Paul Kelly and Harry Singh) have ran since it’s introduction in 1981, an amazing feat!
