Blyth Sands Race - 1st December 2013 (~5 miles)

Winners        Full Results

Report

The 54th running of the Blyth Sands Race on Sunday 1st December was again blessed by the weather gods as the race was held in sunny, cool conditions.  With a record number of pre-entries, maybe the weather helped to bring out the 60+ runners who entered on the day, resulting in the largest number of entries since 2001.

As Usual, the race started on the beach outside the Dave Stephen’s building and the runners headed north towards Blyth Pier where they turned and headed along the water’s edge to Seaton Sluice. Due to the unique handicapping system, the first group of runners away were the ladies aged over 55 and then the subsequent age groups were set away.

The race winner, Alison Cummings of North Shields Poly AC, won by over 90 seconds from the second placed runner Lesley Jackson-Bell of PB Fitness AC, with Angela Campbell in third completing an all female first three.  Fastest on the day was Iain Twaddle of North Shields Poly with a time of 29:42 and fastest female was Sarah Burrell in 36:03.  Fastest Blyth runners were Lee Cuthbertson and Leanne Herron with 33:51 and 37:47 respectively.
