Macca - yes, numbers on Fetch doing Darlington do look a bit down compared to last year. There are the three events at the Hardmoors Saltburn event on the same day and I will be there. Bit sorry I will be missing Darlington as that is where I started doing races more regularly ten years ago and it would have been good to go back for the anniversary. Hope that the 2013 Darlington event is not the same as the 2003 one. I remember talking to Barry Cornelius before the start about whether to put sun cream on. As the start time approached it got darker and darker and shortly after the start, the heavens opened and it threw it down for the first lap. At the end of the first lap we were running through ankle deep water. Not to be forgotten ! |

Do you mean other than the list on here? http://www.fetcheveryone.com/viewracedetails.php?id=86678 If so, then not sure where such a list would be, not come across it myself. |

activenewcastle.co.uk Still places for the Exhibition Park Cup (formerly the Elswick Cup) on Sun 18th Aug. Why pay to do a 5k? It's chip-timed so you can start at the back and still go for a pb. And it starts a whole hour later than the parkrun(actually 25 hours later ) |

Darlo day. Lisrun, like macca53 I well remember the 2003 Darlington. Weirdly, I was wearing my 2003 Darlington T-shirt when I read your post last week. My notes for that race say "before the start, we applied sunblock because of the strong sun; however, the weather suddenly changed: we started in complete darkness [causing the street lights to come on] which developed into a thunderstorm with torrential rain, strong cross-winds [knocking steel barriers over in front of runners], 6 foot wide rivers and enormous pools some of which (5" deep) could not be avoided [as they covered the road and were 30 feet long]; disappointed at my time [44m43s] but, if you take 40s off for the conditions, it was my 4th fastest 10K; ran with HangedUp's 'kinetic work' looping in my head; Peter Grime (Durham University) came second and ITS Club 9 won the male non-athletic club team". Good luck at today's Hardmoors Saltburn event. |

Thanks Barry. The Hardmoors event contained a few more hills than I expected and it had the usual amount of steps. MelanieLH and I were pleased with our times and we avoided getting lost. Apparently a few people did get lost as some of the tape markers were removed. Apparently somebody on the half marathon clocked up 19m ...
