Hundreds of smiling faces gathered at South Park, Darlington on Wednesday night ready to do their bit for the Children With Cancer Charity. Athletes of all ages and abilities, and all shapes and sizes lined up to either run, jog, plod or walk their way round the 5k parkrun circuit. Yes, even we were there […]
Our juniors were in action at the fourth NYSD cross country meeting of the season last weekend. The turnout was lower than normal from the DHAC due to a last training session arranged before the following week’s NE Championships, and the Croft 5k the day before. But for those that were there it was a
Caedmon School, Whitby played host to hundreds of athletes, from Under 11 to Over 70, for the second meeting of the 2018/2019 NYSD Cross Country series. The weather was a huge improvement on the opening meet at Acklam a few weeks ago, and as usual, there were plenty of our juniors doing their stuff. Under
The conditions may have been horrendous, but it didn’t stop twenty four of our junior Harriers turning out in what some might call, proper cross country weather! Yes, it was wet, but the first fixture of the NYSD XC runs was as popular as ever, and clubs from across the region came together to battle
The cool, damp weather was a welcome site to the thousands of athletes that took part in Darlington’s 10k last weekend. The popular event was in it’s 31st year and, as always, attracted a host of entrants of all abilities from across the north east. There were three races to choose from on the day,
Doesn’t time fly!! It only seems like a month or two since the cross country season kicked off with the NYSD Relays at Thirsk. Yet here we are, five months down the line, with the end of the season fast approaching, and the last of the six individual NYSD events is upon us. Richmond was
One of our youngest Junior Harriers has been a regular face at the NYSD Cross Country runs this season. But for Sonny Campbell-Critchley it doesn’t stop there; he is also a keen supporter of the Sunday morning junior park run at Hemlington Park, Middlesbrough. So as long as there’s no NYSD taking place, Sonny gets
The turn out this time was understandably lower than normal after the Durham County Cross Country the day before. However, there were still one or two hardy individuals who’d run at Barnard Castle that were ready for another outing, and as ever, the Under 11’s turned out in force! Under 11 Boys The weather conditions
On Sunday morning the rearranged club 5km handicap took place. Conditions were quite icy as seen on a pre lap warm up as runners slipped in some key areas…however that didn’t deter the event. With some last minute runner changes, Ian Barnes set our first runner away with runners going at 30 or 1 minute
Last Sunday morning at West park, the club handicap took place in icy conditions. After some reviewing of times and handicaps put forward we have now, what we hope a final version using difference from target to actual as a measurement. Darren Thompson taking honours ahead of Michael Robson and Andy Campbell-Critchley. Thank you to
Normally reserved for runners of the four legged variety, last weekend saw Redcar Racecourse host a racing event of a different kind. The North East Counties Athletics Association cross country championship took place on a cold and wintry Saturday, where over 1,000 runners from 40 clubs met for the regions biggest annual championship race. The
It was another great turn out of Junior Harriers last Sunday for the fourth of the NYSD Cross Country meetings. Even with some of our regulars not there this week (more on that later), there were plenty of blue and white vest flying the flag for Darlington. Under 11’s There were 6 of our junior
Our Junior Harriers were in action again last Sunday as they braved the horrendous weather conditions in the 2nd meeting of the NYSD Cross Country series. For the more experienced, it was just another race, but for the younger athletes it was a rude awakening to the joys of cross country running! But the strong
