Armagh International 5k
Eight of the club’s Senior Men crossed the Irish Sea to race in the prestigious Armagh International 5k. Advertising itself with some justification as ‘one of the fastest 5k runs in the world’, in a stacked race Morpeth’s men’s team finished in 2nd place behind local outfit Clonliffe. Middle-distance specialist James Young was first back for the club in 15th place in a time of 13 minutes 55 seconds, with Finn Brodie 41st (14:11), Carl Avery 65th (14:25) and Peter Smallcombe 77th (14:29) making up the team count of four. Josh Fiddaman was 94th (14:30), Ellis Hetherington 100th (14:38), George Lowry 124th (14:47) and Tom Prentice 206th (15:40). Barcelona Half Marathon The club’s Phil Winkler can say ‘I was in a race when a World Record was broken!’ having run in Sunday’s Half Marathon in Barcelona, where Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo took an astonishing 48 seconds of the old record with a time of 56 minutes 42 seconds. Phil also had a good run, clocking a new personal best of 1 hour 6 minutes 15 seconds. York 5k Valentine's Day was also the occasion of the York 5k, held at the University of York Sports Village. Won by Leeds City’s Danny Franks in 14:57, two Morpeth Harriers made the journey South to compete. Teenager Joe Close was 9th in 15:38 and Lee Cuthbertson 20th in 16:10.
