Great North Run

Further away at the Great North Run amongst the 40,000 runners were six of our own Northampton Road Runners stars
Matt Brand managed to fight his way through the crowds to arrive at South Shields in 1:36:47.  Jim Anderson scared off Mo Farah to storm home in 1:54:42.  Des McGrath was only a minute behind in 1:55:42.  Wayne Evans 2:20:36 and Kirsty Turner 2:23:52 made their Great North Debuts, this was also Kirty's first ever half marathon.

GNR regulars sporting Tigger costumes enjoyed the day, Patrick Spike Breydin finished in 2:51:55 and Alan Hackett in 3:22:15 whilst raising money for charity again.
