Tweet away Wallsend Harriers :-) Add Comment  Following the exciting announcement of the reintroduction of the Summer Road Race Grand Prix you know what you need to do...get your trainers on and get your racing legs ready!! So to help you...what's on at the club this week? Tuesday: Club training 6.30pm start at the college - whether you are running with Julie's, Kev's or Steve's group it doesn't matter as long as you go go go and give it your all! Thursday: Club training 6.30pm start at the college Friday: Track session Churchill playing fields 6.15pm start - all welcome and this will REALLY help you notch up those great finishes in the Summer Road Race Grand Prix races. Have a great week green and gold gods and goddesses!! Young Jack Armstrong goes from strength to strength and yesterday he stepped up another level at the Newcastle Parkrun. Running with his Dad Graeme, the 13 year old set off to try to break his course PB of 21.06 but as ever at the Town Moor conditions were blustery to say the least! However he whizzed around the course to finish in a superb 50th place out of 324 finishers in.....20.37!!! That's about 6.37 miling, not bad for a little whipper-snapper! Surely the next target is the magical 20 minute barrier which I'm sure he is capable of achieving soon.Well done Jack! Stacey Rogers continued her fine form with a victory at the Middlesborough 5K. After winning the Terry O'Gara Memorial 5k, getting the second fastest time at the Gordon Smith Relays and coming second at last week's Sunderland 10K, Rogers wanted another test before she competes the Great Manchester 10K next weekend. In 'gusting gales' she was neck and neck with the host club's Carolyn Summersgill until the last kilometre where she powered away to win in a PB of 17.56, beating her previous best by 16 seconds.
