Natasha Phillips wins Scottish half-marathon title plus there is a quick 10km for Jonny Mellor and a world 40 miles record for Ollie Garrod in our latest UK results round-up

INVERNESS-HALF MARATHON (Including Scottish Championships), March 12

Natasha Phillips, the Scottish under-20 cross-country runner-up, and only 17 years old, made a stunning half-marathon debut with a 71:56 clocking to set a women’s course record and win her first Scottish title.

The previous record was set by Kenyan Cathy Mutwa (73:21) in 2007.

The former swimmer and prospective triathlete said: “I am just delighted that I did and it was such an amazing atmosphere. I felt good and I went out fast but did think have I gone round too fast then I got to 6km and my legs started to hurt.”

Also under the record and around 100 metres back was Fionnuala Ross.

Fraser Stewart was first man in 65:24.

MANCHESTER LEAGUE, Heaton Park, March 11

Naomi Kingston wrapped up the overall series in style with a resounding win at a bitterly cold Heaton Park, Stephen Green reports.

The Altrincham athlete was promptly away on lap one of three, as the field descended the first sharp hill. Heading up the sharp incline at the end of the circuit, she had clear daylight over the chasing pack, which included Salford Harrier, Laura Lombard and Beatrice Cordingley.

Kingston eased away for a 51 second margin of victory, with Lombard in second, followed by Sale’s Cordingley, another 200m down.

Gavin Tomlinson, also enjoyed an emphatic win in the men’s race. The Chorlton M40 pushed hard on the first of the three large laps through the twisty woods to get clear daylight from Nicholas Barry.

He pushed on through a series of tough inclines and tricky descents, and was probably grateful for the relatively good underfoot conditions, to come home over a minute to the good from Barry, with Horwich’s Joe Mercer coming in third place, another 250m in arrears.

Barry had the consolation of winning the overall men’s series title, with his club Sale Harriers taking both the men’s and women’s overall team medals.

The first under-20 was Louis Hudson (8th) from Manchester University, with Liverpool Harrier’s Grace Tobin (31st) the first woman in the under-20 category.

The overall under-20 titles went to Lucy Armitage of Sale and West Cheshire’s Sam Hollins.

Joseph Deighton of Trafford was 100m clear of Gabrielle Mullen, followed by Tony Robinson in the under-17 section. Salford Harriers Matilda Byrnes, was a minute clear of team mate Amber Davidson, with Charlotte Wilkinson, third.

Stockport’s Ella Buckley, pulled seven seconds clear of Sophia Nation, with Rachel Bowden next home in the U15 girls’ race. Sale’s Finlay Goddard was the top under-15 boy, with a six second margin of victory over Oberon Kearney, with Jamie Barber in third.

Liverpool’s Isobel Kavanagh sprinted clear by eight seconds from Megan Boyer to gain top spot in the under-13 girls’ event, Nancy Carrington completed the top three. Vale Royal’s Samuel Cook enjoyed an emphatic win 36 seconds clear of Sebastian Whearcroft, who just edged ahead of Thomas Rimmer.

The under-11 winners were Eve Beddow of Warriors Pentathlon (guest), and Owen Oswick of Wirral AC.

37th ANNUAL BARRY 40-MILE TRACK RACE, Barry, March 5

Ollie Garrod broke the 40-mile world record with a time of 3:45:07.

The 30-year-old Belgrave Harrier is an avid racer having chalked up over 20 races in 2023 and having run over a 100 in 2022 including two 100km races and three marathons with a best of 2:22:36, but this is arguably his greatest run yet even if 40 miles is not contested that often.

The previous record was 3:48:35 set by one 0f the world’s greatest ever ultra runners, Don Ritchie, in 1982 and Garrod’s run works out at 5:37 miling.

Garrod can already lay claim to a number of records – for example he has the most parkrun first finishes (367), the English 50km record (2:51:26) and also has the world 5km record for running in a Batman costume (16:15) and a Christmas Elf (16:41)!

Last year Garrod won in 4:01:03, just three minutes ahead of Paul Martelletti but this year his winning margin was 14 minutes from Daniel Rothwell, who also went inside four hours.

Rothwell was fifth in last month’s Welsh Cross-Country Championships.

Mixed events: 40 Miles: 1 O Garrod (Belg) 3:45:07; 2 D Rothwell (Swan, M35) 3:59:56; 3 N Mihalik (N’hant RR, M40) 4:07:49; 4 G Jeans (M35) 4:14:47; 5 H Drake (Amman, M45) 4:21:49; 6 G Pritchard (Vegan, M40) 4:34:27; 7 M Bissett (K&S, M55) 5:10:18
