Sunday saw the staging of this years, largest in the country club race, The Blaydon Race. Following a route as closely as possible to that depicted in the famous song of the same name. Due to work going on near the finish, this year the course was slightly shorter at 5.4 miles.
First home was Graham Rush in 25.37, while Aly Dixon lifted the woman's trophy with a 28.24 clocking. First home for Blaydon was George Rudman in 28.20 for 26th place, with Eleanor Bradley the first Blaydon lady back in 36.25.

As usual, for this race, the atmosphere was fantastic as around 4000 runners made their way from Newcastle city centre to Blaydon.
This was only my second race of the year a I continue to build up from the problems I suffered at Christmas and am quite pleased with my 37.39 clocking.
Onwards and upwards!
