A small group of NEMAA athletes made the journey to Toruń in Poland for last weeks European Masters Championships and returned with an impressive medal count.
Greg Penn (North Shields) won individual gold and team bronze in the M60 Marathon, and team silver in the Cross Country. In addition Greg also finished 4th in the 3000m, and ran in the Warsaw parkrun for good measure. Trevor Hodgson (Morpeth) won individual gold in the M50 60m, and team silver in the men’s 4x200 relay. Lourdes Bradley (North Shields) won team silver in the W45 4x200m relay, setting a new British record. Darren Towart (Tynedale) and Stuart Lynn (North Shields) both won team bronze in their respective X40 and X60 4x200 mixed relays. Rob Andrew (Alnwick) won individual bronze in the M60 800m.

Any NEMAA member entering the BMAF Cross Country Championships in North Wales on March 16th will automatically represent NEMAA in the EMAA inter area competition. It’s ok to wear your own club vest.
So if you're hesitating to get your entries in, do it! While lots of NEMAA members were slogging it out around the Rising Sun Country Park on Saturday at the NEMAA XC Champs (with huge thanks to Heaton Harriers for all their fantastic organisation, in particular George Routledge), further south another race was going on. The BMAF 10k Road Champs took place at Chichester, and while NEMAA only had one representative in the race, she did us proud. Maxine Minchella from South Shields Harriers was fifth F60 (out of 27 in her age group), in a very competitive race, well done Maxine! Full results HERE
Results from today's XC Championships are now available on our results page, thank you for taking part!
