00:00The Bladen race brought back familiar Geordie tradition as organisers reintroduced a couples competition for this year's event.
00:08The new Me and War partner trophy was to be awarded to the married couple or civil partners with the
00:14fastest combined finish time.
00:17Organisers say the category revives an earlier award that disappeared several years ago with updated eligibility rules.
00:23The winners received vouchers and a memorial trophy honouring former club chairman Bob Houston.
00:30The race traces its roots to a historic contest and is one of the region's best-known sporting events each
00:37year.
00:38It was won this year by Jamie Lonergan with a time of 27 minutes and 58 seconds.
