Claremont Road Runners hope to be able to hold a traditional Weetslade Relay on June 23rd, in the same format as we did in 2019. When deciding on the final format of the race, we will work within whatever government guidance is available in June, in conjunction with advice from England Athletics and North Tyneside Council. We will be working as ever with Wideopen Football Club and Hatton Traffic Management. If we can safely have a traditional race, we will be limiting entries to five teams per club but do hope to welcome 300 runners. We do not want to change the course or the traditional format. Each team of three including a lady and a veteran. If we cannot have a safe traditional race, we are considering a repeat of the Virtual Relay we held in 2020 which attracted 196 teams." Normally the race is not open to unattached runners as it is "a relay race for teams of three from UKA affiliated clubs". "Takes place in the Weetslade Country Park." "Start/finish is at Lockey Park." "Scenic, undulating, multi-terrain course." "Each leg is 2.65M and includes a hill at halfway with a 30m climb - there are spectacular views over Tyneside for those who still notice such things after running up a hill."

"Collect race number and chip on the day." This web page says the event has been postponed from Jun 3rd to Oct 30th. This web page says that currently there are 10 places left and that entries open at 0800 on Sep 1st. However, this web page says "come October, circumstances may be such that it is sensible (or necessary) to have a reduced field - on that basis we will be making a decision in respect of available places closer to the date". "Venue is the Woodhouse Grove School." "Known colloquially as the 'ABC', this is a challenging race of about 10K, largely off-road along woodland tracks in a rural part of the Aire Valley. It attracts runners from clubs across Yorkshire, as well as increasing numbers of unattached runners." "Quiet roads, tracks and paths with some climbs (but no towpath!)." "Chip timing." "Memento."

"Venue is LPSA Club, 4 Beecroft Street." "Our third trip of the year to the Leeds to Liverpool Canal (Kirkstall). As the name suggests, this is an out and back, a lovely flat route that's perfect for a PB. This event will naturally have a Halloween theme, there's no pressure at all to dress up but feel free to do so. The cake table will reflect the theme of the event." There are similar races on the day after.

"The Halloween Fun Run @ Castle Eden gives you a unique opportunity to have a frightful experience enjoying the trails around the Castle Eden Dene Nature Reserve. We will have some ghoulish marshals on the route to help ensure you have a hellish time getting round the route. The marked route is fully contained within the Nature Reserve trails so you get a great chance to look at the beauty of the Dene whilst avoiding the attention of the undead. If you manage to avoid being dragged into ravines by ghouls, then you will be rewarded with a very special race medal. This truly is a hellish but fun trail event." "All Trail Outlaws events are aimed at giving runners of all abilities the chance to have fun or race on local trails." "Prizes will be awarded for the winners of each race. There is also a prize for the best male and female fancy dress runners."

This is just a guess at the date. Please e-mail me if you see any information on the web about this event. "The race route for the Half is basically an out-and-back. Starting on the A68 opposite the Abbey, the route goes north along the A68, turns right up past Woodend and the back of Riverside, then east along the A698 towards Kelso. At around 4M, there is a small detour off the main road past Crailing church; the route then continues east along the A698 towards Kelso. At around 6M, the route turns right towards Eckford then loops back towards the A698 to start the return journey. Runners will travel west along the A698 towards Bonjedward then south along the A68 towards Jedburgh, to finish on the grass by the river opposite Queen Mary's house." "The race route for the 10K is the same as the Half but with a turnround point on the A698 at 5K."

Underfoot conditions are generally good for those used to off road running, but can be tricky in places." "Chip timing." "Why not make a dirty trail running weekend of it and enter Sunday's Ullswater Trail Race too and take part in the 'Dirty Double'?"
