28-11-2009
Farringdon, Sunderland.
An excellent Crook AC turnout for the first Harrier league Cross Country event for the 2009/2010 season at Farringdon, Sunderland. The weather was mild with conditions pretty good compared to last year’s ice covered course. Crook runners were competing in various races so there was plenty of action to watch.

Some great performances on a sunny day on Teesside for the Redcar Half Marathon.
Patrick Duffy, although reporting that he was disapointed still posted a fantastic time.
Owen Weightman and Graham Bradshaw crossed the line together but the photo finish gave it to the youngster. A massive PB for Owen who hasnt been under 1.30 before. Graham was second Vet 50 following a similiar place at Stokesley Duathlon last month.
John Stephenson matched his Great North Run performance by coming in 2nd Vet65.
