A cold and windy morning greeted our parkrunners on Saturday. John Wilson breezed to a new pb and Samantha Gray volunteered at Wynyard. Elsewhere, 22 Striders attended Sedgefield where Jill Abel ran with daughter Katie to celebrate her 500th parkrun.

Reece Atkinson did his 100th parkrun at Carlisle Park (Morpeth). Tom Murphy (70%+ and new pb) was 2nd finisher at Albert - where Glenn Cooper got a 70%+ a-g and Kate Clark was 3rd lady to finish.

The 2023/24 NYSD cross-country season drew to a close at Richmond recently. The following is a review of another excellent season - particularly from the Striders ladies team. 19 teams across North Yorkshire and South Durham participated in the 6 events. SSAC ladies finished 2nd in 2022, 1st in 2023 and recorded another 2nd place finish this season. Striders pushed eventual winners Swadale all the way to the final event. It was so close - and but for a couple of places difference at Summerhill and Emily getting injured at Whitby it would have been another trophy. All the 'close calls' seemed to go Striders way last season so I think the luck has evened itself out. That said, runners up spot is another incredible achievement from the team. In a similar vein…

Loads going on this weekend including Sunday's Boro half and the Richmond cross-country. No pb's at Wynyard on Saturday. Hartlepool United fan Kevin Dove looked to be heading for a pb but he was too nervous about the upcoming Pools match. He was right to be nervous... Andy J, Beth D, Dan M, Gareth M, Jim W and Victoria S volunteered. Elsewhere 17 Striders descended on the picturesque Darlington South Park where Izzy Morgan (70%+ age-grading and 2nd lady home) was celebrating her 100th parkrun. Also grabbing the headlines was Emma Fleming. Emma (70%+ a-g and 1st lady home) recorded an all-course pb and a first sub-20-minute time. That's great news Emma and testament to all your hard work in recent years. Declan Mcgrath and Aaron Atkinson also came away…
