The 2005 NIKE Jim Dewar Blaydon Race
5.7M
LIMIT FOR THE 2005 RACE HAS BEEN REACHED; entry form appeared in the Journal on Feb 22 and at http://www.blaydonrace.com/html/entry.doc on Mar 04; the new Blaydon Race WWW site says "2005 will see the 25th running of the Race. Jim Dewar, the race originator and organiser of all 24 events between 1981 and 2004, sadly died just two days after the 2004 race and it is a great pity he was unable to fulfil his ambition of achieving the first 25. A self-confessed eccentric with a genius for organisation and for getting fellow barmpots to work with him on the Race, he is going to be a hard act to follow"
