Great North 5K, 7th October 2022 (and Mini-GNR on the 8th)
Originally planned for the Friday before the Great North Run, the Great North 5K was postponed due to the death of the Queen. It was probably a great relief for the entrants as the weather was awful on the scheduled evening, whereas the sun shone on the runners on the re-arranged date of this Friday.
Five Claremont Road Runners ventured down to the Quayside and all were rewarded with good times. Well done to all!

There was also a good representation from the next generation of Sky Blue runners in the Mini Great North Run on the Saturday morning. Well done to all the kids who ran – you all did brilliantly and will soon be faster than your parents! Photos from both events in the album below:
