Congratulations to Hugh on his individual award and also to Jamie and Mike who won the men’s team award with him. Dawn Teed was 44th in 1:52:24, with John Perratt 54th in 2:00:43.
At the other end of the scale, more than 50,000 runners completed the Great North Run Half Marathon that was won by the Kenyan, Martin Lel in 59:32. Slightly further back in the field but well above half way were Harriers' Stan Mason, 20,557th in 2:15:39 and wife Joan, 20,567th in 2:15:40.
