Daryl's Jungfrau Marathon
Huge congratulations to Daryl Mullen of Newburgh Nomads, who along with daughter Luci, completed the tough Jungfrau Marathon on 07 September 2024. It's a marathon with a difference - 2,000 meters of climbing included! On a stunning Alpine day, Daryl and Luci ran from Interlaken to Eigergletscher in view of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch. An amazing setting and great conditions for such a challenge. Well done Daryl and Luci!
Chris takes on the Charnley Way
Chris Usher completed the Charnley Way on 30 August 2024. On what was a perfect Lakeland day (blue skies, little wind, not too warm), Chris ran and walked a route over 40 miles with 13,000 ft of ascent to link all points of the Charnley Way between the youth hostels of High Close (Langdale), Eskdale and Longthwaite (Borrowdale). Chris becomes the third Newburgh Nomad to complete the round solo after Dave Ralphs and John Thompson.

Pete's Tea Round
Peter McNamee completed the Abraham's Tea Round on Saturday 24 August. Clocking up 30 miles and 10,000 ft ascent, the route takes in all tops seen from the window of the cafe in the attic of George Fisher's outdoor shop in Keswick.
Is this the first solo completion by a Newburgh Nomad? Well done Pete!
Rossendale Fell series - Tony wins!
Tony Jackson is flying high after winning his age category at the Rossendale Fell series. Tony came second in category at Whittle Pike and Golf Ball, and won his category prize at Pilgrims Cross, thereby putting it beyond doubt that he'd also win the series.
Kathy Sutton and Wally Coppelov also did well, winning prizes in their age categories during the series.
Lakeland 50/100 success!
Newburgh Nomads Kathy Sutton, David Ralphs and Jamie Munro completed the gruelling Lakeland 100, and not for the first time. Dave earned his "slate" for 5 completions.

Harrock Hill results, 2024 race 2
Final ResultsThank you to all runners competing in the second Harrock Hill race of the 2024 series.
It was great to have a good turnout this month, and back to regular Harrock Hill conditions. It's been an amazing night for so many reasons. Runners from clubs as far afield as Totley AC, Manx Fell Runners, Durham City, Teignmouth, and Meirionydd participated in this race! Also, we believe it was a record number of entrants that toed the start line - 237 runners. Thank you all for making Harrock Hill the great local race that it is.
Unfortunately we had a couple of injuries and health issues…
