 Birtley AC athlete Adrian Bailes showed his fine form with another fantastic first place at last weekend's Brass Monkey Half Marathon, finishing in an impressive 69:44.
Team Birtley were also ably represented with a slew of sub 90 minute performances from:- Martin Bell 81:45 Karl Oakes 82:13 Ruth Dadswell 88:22 Well done everyone! Birtley hosted the Cathedral Relays on Sunday 13th January, and what a great day it was. The technically challenging course, with its short but steep hills, and lots of twists and turns to make the most of a limited space, proved very popular with the athletes. The warm (wind-free!) indoor sign up area in the Lord Lawson gym was greatly appreciated by the team managers, as were the refreshments on offer.
Results (from a very nervous results team!) were produced on the day, and prizes were presented to the winning athletes and teams. The NEMAA team awards were also presented by Archie Jenkins, with the individual medals to be given out at the upcoming XC Champs next month at Wallsend. Full results here. If you enjoyed the event, want to comment on a photo or result, or have any other feedback, please feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of this page Going from amateur runner to first British finisher at the SimplyHealth Great North Run in less than 2 years.
