The latest Blaydon Harriers' Club 5K Handicap Time Trial took place on 27 February 2025, and what a fantastic evening it was! Always a favourite with our athletes, we saw some incredible performances, helped by perfect conditions for personal bests.
Our junior star, Rachel Carradice, stormed home in first place with a brand-new personal best, an amazing achievement! Robyn Hutson smashed almost two minutes off her previous best, showing just how much progress she's making.
Lois Richards continues to go from strength to strength, beating the PB she set just last week at Parkrun. Alison Richards put in a brilliant effort, turning on the jets in the finishing straight to claim a new PB. And a special mention to Paul Young, who ran his fastest time in over eight years, so close to a PB!
Huge thanks to Emma Lane and Michael Beirne for marshalling and keeping everyone safe on the course. And, of course, a special shout out to The Richards for bringing cake, definitely the best reward!
These events wouldn’t be possible without the enthusiasm and organisation of Robb Young, who does a brilliant job putting it all together for us. Thank you, Robb!
It was fantastic to see so many runners pushing themselves and embracing the challenge. The next Club 5K Handicap is on 24 April 2025, we can't wait to see what you all achieve next!
