The Yorkshire BIG day out

  

Well done to Katherine Sutton on gaining a personal best time in the tough Fellsman competition with 60+ miles of day and night running over open Yorkshire moorland on 26 April 2025.

On the same day, new member Stephen Wilkes also gained a personal best in Yorkshire Three Peaks race - a premier event in the national running calendar.

Autumn-Winter round-up 2024-25

The winter season, as usual, brought many opportunities for training, exploring and racing. Great regulars on the Newburgh calender included:  The OMM.

Happy 40th Anniversary Nomads!

Today, 4th December, is exactly 40 years since Newburgh Nomads' inaugural club meet.
Writing yesterday, Andy Brookfield set the scene...
"40 years of a Great Club and its beginnings.   It seems so amazing that this club, Newburgh Nomads, has been going for 40 years, and I was part of bringing it into being. It is something I'm so proud of, and has brought so much joy to my life, as I'm sure it has for many of you.

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.

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.
