NSRRA

North Staffordshire Road Runners Association was set up in July 1974 to promote road running in the North Staffordshire region. Members are organised into groups based on ability. There are seven mens and five ladies groups. There are also leagues for different age groups 40 to 44, 45 to 50 etc.

Each year 20 races are chosen to go into the NSRRA programme and the best 12 performances in these races count towards the league competition. In each of the events the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc in each group receives 50, 49, 48, 47 etc points.

You can run as few or as many races as you wish, but normally to be competitive at the top of your group or age group you would need to run 12 races.
Race 18
Apart from memorial awards, you need to have run 6 races to qualify for an award.

Race Summary:
Race 16: Newcastle 10k

Race Number 16 in our series was Newcastle 10k with the infamous climb to the top of Black Bank. Taking the honours of getting to the top first and picking up a £100 bonus were Jordan Thomas of City Of Stoke and Jo Stanfield of Trentham Running Club.

Jordan and Jo stayed at the front to take the wins.
Jo Stanfield’s race win at 55 years of age has got to be the performance of the day.

First home for NSRRA were Tom Chell of City Of Stoke and Jo Stanfield.

Congratulations to all finishers and many thanks to Newcastle AC for hosting.

Thank you to Bryan Dale for the photographs.
