Anniversary Race
The Club’s Anniversary Race is held annually in early September. This is an individual event comprising a 2-lap (3.8 miles total) on Town Moor. All members of Jesmond Joggers are welcome to compete as are members of invited clubs.
Our 2024 and 18th Anniversary race was held in September and we were joined by our friends from Newcastle Frontrunners Running Club as well as other guests.
Louis Gardner retained his JJs title, four seconds outside the course record, which we believe stands at 20:12 set in 2014 by Michael Hedley. Stephan Garbutt from NFR was second and his second time on the podium. Richard Carter completed the men’s podium holding off another NFR in Steven Macdonald.
In the women’s race, Laura Chapman retained her title, finishing 9th overall with Laura Cheetham and Izzy Sharrock making up the women’s podium both inside the top 16.
In the vet’s races, two new JJs champions were crowned with Floor Christie De-Jong and Laurence White taking the titles, with Laurence finishing 13th overall.
Congratulations to all our runners!
