The first round of the NEHL cross country season for 23/24 takes place this coming
Saturday (23 rd September) at Wrekenton. The full list of registered runners for the club is available here at http://www.harrierleague.com/runners/2023-24/Morpeth%20Harriers%20&%20AC.htm (Please note if you are NOT registered for this one, you can’t be entered on the day; however, we can register you for the next one at Druridge Bay.) Timings are the same as last season, with the first race off, the Under 11s, at midday and the timings all here: 12.00 Under 11 Boys 12.05 Under 11 Girls 12.15 Under 17 men 12.20 U17 and U20 women 12.35 Under 15 Boys 12.40 Under 15 Girls 12:50 Under 13 boys 12:55 Under 13 girls 13.05 Senior & veteran women 13:50 Senior & veteran men As ever, parking can be tight at these events, so please give yourself time to get parked up, collect number and get warmed up. Parking is available at Cardinal Hume Catholic School, Old Durham Road, postcode NE9 6RZ, though some parking is usually available on the Beacon Lough estate. Best route from Morpeth is usually over the Tyne Bridge, then picking up the signs for Queen Elizabeth Hospital – the school and course are only a few hundred yards after this. Toilets available at the course (though always worth bringing own extra loo roll!). Wrekenton has usually tended to be quite firm going under foot, but it may be worthwhile bringing spikes and trail shoes, if you have them, although the course will also be fine in ordinary shoes. Look for club tent and flag – we will be there unseasonably early, as ever! Further information is likely to be on the NEHL website or on the NEHL Facebook page. It’s always good to get off to a good start and part of the success in XC is, of course, in the numbers, so let’s aim for a big turn out in blue and white whatever the weather. Comments are closed.
