Report

The 58th running of the Blyth Sands Race on Sunday 3rd December was held in sunny, fairly calm conditions, which helped to attract a field of 176 runners, the largest entry this century. 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 65 and then the subsequent age groups were set away.

First back and making it two consecutive victories was Mark McNally of Elswick Harriers, finishing well over 2 minutes clear of second placed runner Ian Brown of Tynedale Harriers, with Peter Grey of Alnwick Harriers finishing close behind in third to make it an all male in one, two, three. Fastest time on the day went to Kurt Heron of Ashinghurst Hirst RC with 27:50, who because of the age handicap system was in the last group away but worked his way through the field to finish 9th overall. The fastest Lady on the day was Stephanie MacLean-Dann of NSP recording an actual time of 34:27 in finishing in sixth place.
