Once again, we made the annual pilgrimage from Prudhoe train station, to the sleepy Northumberland village of Ovington, for the Tynedale Harriers Pie & Peas 10k. It’s a 10k road race, where you get pie and peas at the end… what’s not to love?!

Another tremendous turn out from the best running club in the world™️ – especially for those who were only a few days into Chevy Chase or Triathlon recoveries. Cough, Chris/Megan/Ian, cough…

On day we were lead home by Grant Ramsden, sneaking inside the magical 40 minute mark, in 39:50, for the ladies, Bex Hewitson was first home in 41:04.

Even more enjoyable was the category results; with Bex finishing first in her category, joined by Sue Urwin and Kirsty Robson who were also first in their categories. Jill Lee and Theresa Owens who were both second in their categories, with Sarah Reay third in her category! Amazing return from all ladies!

Also claiming PBs on the day were Megan Williams (still apparently recovering from Chevy legs – imagine what that time could’ve been when in peak condition!) and Lindsey Dover – nothing better than beating yourself and your own previous best!

And Sally Ann Greenwell ran on her birthday… and brought cakes! A delightful pudding after the pie and peas main course!

Probably the most enjoyable aspect of Wednesday was the way that almost all of the club members stayed to cheer on each other finishing – as Megan said, “we might not be the biggest club, but we’re certainly the loudest” – not wrong.
