Race 4 - Allendale 8M – Sat 1st June 2013

After the relative heat wave of the preceding week it was typical that race day started cool and damp. The Allendale 8 is actually 7.7 miles, so apart from a couple of Blyth's 25 runners who had done this race before, pb's were virtually guaranteed, even on this definitely "not flat" course. The race takes place on the same day as the annual town fair, with a few stalls, hog roast (yum yum) and a strong man competition to help the supporters pass the time while the runners are out on the course enjoying the fantastic scenery.

Congratulations to Peter Brown, 5th overall and 1st M40, Heather Christopher (1st F40?), the men's team of Peter, Jake, Peter and Adam who claimed the men's team prize and Heather, Lindsey and Julie for being 2nd ladies team.
