Grampian orienteer Oleg Chepelin, competing as Team British Orienteering with fellow British International Neil Northrop (South Yorkshire), wins the Newcastle Rat Race.
The event is part of a series of Urban Adventure Races which includes Edinburgh, London, Belfast and Melbourne; a significant part of these races requires excellent navigation & decision-making skills as well as a high level of physical fitness.
Team British Orienteering led from the start and, after 6.5 hours of racing, took victory by 25 minutes.
