Not as many events this week, but the ones we had were varied and interesting!

 

The Blaydon Race

The Blaydon Race is a road race from Newcastle to Blaydon. Taking place annually on the 9th June, it follows the route, as best it can, that the horse racegoers took in the 1862 Geordie Ridley song.

I don’t know what that means, but this was a Bucket List race for DJ, and he finished in a cracking 46:04 – his first time at under 8mm since breaking his collar bone in 2023. Congratulations DJ!

 

Langham Hall Estate 10k

This was the first race hosted by Designed By Run, and was a trail 10k around the picturesque (if somewhat hilly) grounds of Langham Hall.

Name	Time

Maxine Leech	1:19:13
Jodee Mayer	1:22:08

The Bridge Run Half Marathon

Steven Alder, who has been known to partake in the occasional run overseas, took on this unique half marathon, across the Oresund Bridge from Denmark to Sweden. Steven completed the course in 2:20:35, although 6 minutes of this was spent in a bottle-neck to the finish, unfortunately. Well done Steven!

 

Rat Race – The Wall

Anne Radovic took on “The Wall” – no, not the Danny Dyer quiz show, but a 70 mile ultra through Hadrian’s Wall country, starting in Carlise and finishing in Gateshead. Anne completed the course in 20:16:19 – amazing!

 

Well done to everyone!
