A blustery Sunday morning saw over 500 finishers in the popular Port of Blyth 10k, run on the out and back course from the Quayside to Seaton Sluice along the promenade and dunes, returning via the pavements and Ridley Park.
Blackhill Bounder Jordan Bell, son of Stewey Bell, was the winner in a time of 33 minutes 46 seconds, ahead of Gosforth’s Over 45 veteran Andrew Heppell (34:09) and Sunderland Harrier Liam Taylor (34:20). Newly-signed North Shields Polytechnic Harrier Stacey Smith was first female and 5th overall in a speedy 34:52, over three minutes ahead of Elswick’s Imogen Bungay and Gateshead’s Gillian Manford. (The course records of Peter Newton, 30:33, and Aly Dixon, 33:27, are pretty formidable of course.) Despite having run the last leg less than 24 hours beforehand to make sure the Men’s 12 Stage team was complete, Morpeth’s own O/45 John Butters was first finisher for the club in 11th with a strong run of 35:36. Shaun Land also had a good run for Morpeth, 24th in 36:16. Over 65 Gavin Bayne was a category winner in 41:38, also just slipping inside the first 100 in 99th place. Lorna Macdonald was the club’s first female finisher, 5th Senior and 87th overall in 41:10, with Lizzie Rank 6th in 41:56. Lee Cuthbertson, 46th in 38:50; Dave Stabler, 49th and 6th O/45 in 39:06; Jake Masterman, 58th in 39:36; Linzi Quinn, 116th and 8th Senior in 42:30; Anna Wright, 116th and 5th O/40 in 43:21; Dave Nicholson, 171st and 3rd O/65 in 45:10; Laura Mclean, 205th and 6th O/35 in 46:46 and Andrew Dippie, 213th and 6th O/60 in 47:00.
