Floyd takes honours in Whalton Festive Five Miler
30 December: Morpeth's Ross Floyd won the five-mile race on the roads between the Northumberland villages of Whalton and Ogle at the weekend.
Floyd finished some 9 seconds ahead of nearest challenger Ben Chown of 26.2 Road Runners Club with Gateshead’s Conrad Franks in third having just lost out to Chown in the run-in. Floyd professed himself very happy with the win, all the more so after the sleep deprivation the latest addition to his family has been causing him over the last few weeks.
