Thanks to everybody who participated at another sun-drenched Weetslade Relays – we hope you all enjoyed it and, as ever, thanks as ever to all the supporters, marshals and officials who made the 13th running of this event a success.

The Weetslade Relay is the event that Claremont Road Runners have organised every year since 2010 (pandemic permitting!). The race starts and ends at Wideopen Juniors Football Club (Lockey Park), and much of the course goes through the Weetslade Country Park. This year’s event will take place on Wednesday, 26th June 2024. It would be …

Having had an excellent response for the need to supply volunteers to marshal and generally help out at Weetslade, we had enough spare to fill our quota of 4 teams on the night. They didn’t let us down! I felt good lining up at the start for my first Weetslade race, despite knowing that being …

Congratulations to Sunderland Harriers for their victory in the 2023 Weetslade Relays. Morpeth Harriers were second, and Wallsend Harriers completed the podium. We hope that you all enjoyed the evening, even though we couldn’t deliver the usual Weetslade sunshine – thankfully most runners avoided the worst of the rain (I think). Thanks as ever to …

The Weetslade Relay is the event that Claremont organised every year from 2010 to 2019, and which grew from eight teams when it was first run, to over 100. We had to change it to a virtual event in 2020 and 2021, but were delighted to be back to holding a ‘real’ race last year. …

It seems like we always have good weather for the Weetslade Relays and this year was no exception. Bright blue skies meant a good evening for photographers, marshals and officials, though it was perhaps a tad warm for the runners! It was also breezy in the more exposed parts and on the hill – so …

Many thanks to everybody who competed and officiated at the Weetslade Relays on a warm and sunny, if breezy, evening. We hope you all enjoyed it. Congratulations to Morpeth Harriers who edged out Sunderland Harriers in a close finish to take the title. Jarrow and Hebburn completed the podium. Sunderland did claim the prizes in …

Thank you to everybody who took part in the Virtual Weetslade Relay. Unfortunately the planned running of the Weetslade Relays in June had to be cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions remaining in place, but we hope you enjoyed it virtually! Whilst the uptake was a lot lower than last year, 32 teams from 6 different …

The eleventh Weetslade Relay was scheduled for June 23rd 2021. The current Government Road Map led to the hope of removing all coronavirus restrictions on June 21st. However, as this was not possible, Claremont Road Runners have taken the decision to cancel the race. It would not be possible to hope to hold a traditional …

Thank you to everybody who took part in the Virtual Weetslade Relay.  Sorry that we could not give you the opportunity to run up our lovely hill, but we hope that you enjoyed it wherever you ran.  I am sure there were many diverse courses – I know that Claremont Road Runners had participants running …
