Three Morpeth Harriers managed top 20 placings in Easter Sunday’s 18th running of the annual North Tyneside 10k, organised by North Tyneside Council, with additional support coming courtesy of clothing retailer Start Fitness, and Soft Drinks supplier Clear Drinks.
On a slightly-modified course, which meant that all previous records are now confined to the history archives, the field of over 1,800 runners were led home by North Shields Poly’s Carl Smith, who posted a winning time of 31m02s.
Second place went to Gateshead Harriers Under 20 athlete Josh Blevins (31m25s), with Sunderland Harrier Craig Gunn claiming third place in 32m18s.
First home for Morpeth was Andrew Lawrence, who finished an excellent sixth in 32m52s, just a few strides ahead of his club colleague Kieran Reay (32m56s).
Also making a top 20place for himself in a Morpeth Vest was Tom Prentice, who was 13th in 33m44s.
Other Morpeth results in the event were, Richard Glennie (128th) 40m30s, Stephen Johnstone (283rd) 44m24s, and Gary Mason (335th) 46m01s.
