Terry O'Gara
Memorial 5K
[Tue 24th Apr]
Despite a number of other attractions
on a bright, sunny Sunday morning (London Marathon, Trail Races, going to
church etc.), nearly 200 runners turned up for this race in memory of the Wallsend
chairman who died recently after a short illness. 11 Blyth runners lined up
ready for the start of the race in ideal conditions. The course was 1 ¾ laps
that incorporated a stretch of the Hadrian's Way cycle route, in effect an
extended version of the route used for the Gordon Smith Relays.
The winner of the race was Wallsend
Harriers Yared Hagos in a
ridiculous time of 14:49, couldn’t manage that if I’d used a bike! First Blyth
runner was Sam Dodd (47th) in 18:52. Full details, along with some photos are available
on the Wallsend
website.
