Race 5 – Newburn River Run – Wed 14th June
2017
This race will still count in the medium category this year, due
to the race being chosen for the GP in good faith as a 6.5 mile course way back
in September 2016.
Thirty Seven Blyth runners turned out on a hot, humid evening for
the 5th Grand Prix race, the Newburn River Run, the
race took place over a slightly shorter but safer, 6-mile route (no negotiating
the traffic when crossing the bridge on the far side). The flat course started slightly further down
the road past Newburn Leisure Centre, the run takes
in the old Railway line from Newburn to Wylam passing the birthplace of George Stephenson. The
runners then make their way over Wylam Bridge
before heading back to Newburn finishing this year
under the bridge beside the Rowing club on the far side of the river.
A record 356 participants took part over what is a lovely route and
the pie, sandwich, crisps and chocolate bar handed out afterwards were enjoyed
on the balcony and in the bar of the Leisure Centre by everyone.
First home for the Blyth men was Peter Brown, followed by Paul Whalley with Ian Baxter hot on his heels.
The first lady home was Sandra Watson, with Julie Lemin and Claire Mason second and third for Blyth ladies.
