Lizzie Ranks Third In Newcastle Half
Sunday saw the first running of an event new to the region, the Newcastle Half Marathon and 10k, which were organised by the Run Through organisation, who had also been responsible for June’s Morpeth 10k.
With a start and finish at Kingston Park, home of Newcastle Falcons, and a route taking in closed roads around Newcastle Airport and Dinnington, the Half Marathon was won by Heaton Harrier David Young in a time of 1 hour 11 minutes 26 seconds with Lindsey Wellburn first female home in 1:27:22.
Morpeth’s Lizzie Rank was 3rd Woman in the Half Marathon in 1:32:48, with Anna Wright, who had clearly got the previous weekend’s Chevy Chase out of her legs, 1st O/40 in 1:36:00. Sophie Ward was 9th Senior Female in 1:44:49.
Jake Parmley was 50th in 1:31:31 and Mike Winter was 73rd and 4th O/50 in 1:36:37.
The 10k was won by visiting Highgate Harrier Seya Taha Ghafari in a time of 31:54 with Nicole Rich 1st Woman in 38:40.
