Sunday 9th December
The 17th running of this popular race took place in lovely weather although
the route kept off the slabs and steps on top of Simonside due to the icy
conditions, making it about 0.5 miles shorter.
Tyne Bridge had a strong team out but were just pipped for the men's team
prize by NFR's Louis Goffe, Mark Clarkson and Phil Green who also clinched the
NFR's Vet 40 championship.
