The Yorkshire Wolds Runners did Driffield proud as seven club members joined 56,000 other athletes at the start line of the Great North Run.
For some of the club’s runners this was their first time entering a half marathon event. For others, it was a chance to better a previous time and raise even more money for good causes.
After several months of hard training all seven club members had a fantastic day with many talking about signing up for next year’s event.
The results were as follows: Paul Evans (1:40:55), Kath Hammond (1:50:23 - PB), Tim Hammond (1:50:23), Lynne Wilson (2:14:47), Graham Wood (2:26:15), Claire Roberts (2:56:04 - PB) and Mark Roberts (2:56:04).
