The first race of 2022 took place on 2nd January 2022. Four members travelled to Hartlepool on a fine but cool & breezy Sunday to compete in the Stuart Pailor Memorial Race.
The scenic 5.5 mile course had a bit of everything: starting and finishing on tarmac with farm tracks, challenging steep descents & ascents through the beautiful Nesbitt Dene and even a disused railway line.
Dave Raymond finished first in 44:44, followed by Barbara Crawley in 54:14, then Amanda Pettitt in 1:05:04. Unfortunately Judith Rodwell took a tumble near the start and was unable to complete the run.
