The penultimate event in the Summer Tees Trail series of 5k races took place at Pinchinthorpe on Wednesday 23 August. Two members of Aycliffe Running Club took part in this. This is a good one lap course and once you get to the top of the hill it’s practically all down-bank. Dez Fielden was 1st home for the club in the excellent time of 18:18, followed by John Burnside, who placed 1st in his age category of male over 60 and 44th overall in a time of 21:39. Isaac Boys and Caleb Wren from the Junior section joined about 70 others for the Auckland Castle 2 mile fun run on Sunday 27th August.(photo above). The hilly route  started at the Robinson Arch, past the Walled Garden, into the park and over to the obelisk where the runners turned and headed back to finish in the grounds of the Castle.  Caleb and Isaac ran well on the challenging, trail terrain.  Caleb finished in 7th position in  14:50 followed closely by Isaac 8th position in 14:50:23.
