While we’re still waiting for club organised run While we’re still waiting for club organised runs to return (not too long now!! 😁) our members are making the most of Buddy runs - two of our runners schlepped up to Simonside early this morning to get 14 miles done on the trails, completing their virtual Wooler Half-Marathons. The conditions were perfect; cold, crisp, and clear - perfect for making necessary photo stops 📸 #newcastlefrontrunners #lgbtrunners #buddyruns #pairrunning #virtualrun #woolerhalfmarathon #trailruns #lockdownruns #photostops
