Scot produces one of greatest ever age for age performances to win BMAF title while Naomi Mitchell wins Adidas Manchester Marathon

JIM DINGWALL ROUND THE HOUSE 10km, Inc BRITISH MASTERS Championship, Grangemouth, April 16

The British Masters championship was incorporated into this long-standing fixture and gave the recent multiple record-breaking Alastair Walker the chance to do on home soil, Martin Duff reports.

In the World Masters Championships in Torun, Poland, two weeks earlier the Teviotdale man had set a world 10km best of 34:18 but here improved the M65 mark further to 34:05.

He passed halfway in 16:52 and according to Strava splits his miles were 5:17, 5:23, 5:27, 5:27, 5:26 and 5:39 and he won the British M65 title by a stunning four minutes, from Jonathan Haynes who was also runner-up to Walker in the British Masters cross-country and third in the British Masters International.

Walker, who is 67 next month, set a world age 66 best that is actually superior to the world 63, 64 and 65 marks.

Getting slightly overdistance, Walker is confident he can break 34 minutes next time out and it’s worth noting that the oldest ever runner to break 34 minutes is another masters legend Martin Rees, who did so at the age of 62 in Telford in 2015.

Up ahead the race was won by Shettleston’s Dan Bradford, who also added the British Masters M35 title, with third placed Grant Baillie taking the M40 gold with 31:38.

The top M55, Steve Allen just pipped Walker to the line but was given the same 34:05 time, while at the top of the age range long serving Inverclyde man Pete Cartwright took M80 gold with 62:36.

Just as in the recent British Masters cross-country, Walker’s fellow Scots Tony Martin won the M70s and Alex Sutherland the M75’s.

The open and British Masters title in the women’s race were won by Jenny Wetton with 35:48 while the BMAF W40 title went to third-placed Michelle Sandison.

In sixth spot was the other recent Scottish-based record breaker Fiona Matheson, but she fell just short of the W60 British best that she lost to Treena Johnson’s 38:31 by running 38:39 (38:33 chip). But the 62-year-old still retains the British chip time best of 38:19.

ADIDAS MANCHESTER MARATHON, April 16

Naomi Mitchell, who won the Reading Half-Marathon two weeks earlier, went one place better than last year’s Manchester race with a 2:31:27 victory.

The Reading AC athlete, who finished 25th in the European Championships at Munich, just missed her 2:30:54 PB from the 2022 race in Manchester.

She ran the early miles at around 5:30 miling passing 10km in 34:31 reaching halfway in 73:04 and though slowing after 30km (1:46:04), she comfortably managed a sub-six-miling tempo through to the end.

She won by five minutes from Swede Malin Starfelt while South of England cross-country champion Georgie Bruinvels finished third in 2:38:22.

Lithuanian Ignas Brasevicius, only 57th in last year’s European Marathon championships and the owner of a 2:15:04 PB, won by a minute from Kieran Walker who took over two minutes off of his previous PB. Both went through halfway in 67:52.

Ollie Lockley was a clear third.

A massive congratulations to our first male and female to cross the finish line! ?

ABP NEWPORT MARATHON & 10km, April 17

Nearly 6,000 runners competed in the marathon and 6km with the flat and fast courses delivering memorable performances and three new course records on a landmark day for distance running in Wales.

Cardiff’s Dan Nash, who is the current British record holder for 50km, pipped 2021 champion and former steeplechase star Adam Bowden in the closing stages of the marathon, winning the men’s title in a course record 2:19:46.

Lliswerry Runner Lizzie Dimond took the title on home turf in the women’s marathon, finishing in a time of 2:49:36. Melissah Gibson of Ealing Eagles who was also the runner up in 2021, came in second in a time of 2:54:40.

Omar Ahmed continued his winning ways in the 10km race, fresh from his victory at the Brecon Carreg Cardiff Bay 10K just three weeks ago. The Birchfield Harrier broke the 10km course record, winning in a time of 28:35 ahead of Shaun Antell in 30:11 and first Welshman Mike Ward (30:29).

The women’s 10km saw a battle between Wales’ two fastest marathoners Clara Evans of Pontypridd Roadents and Natasha Cockram of Micky Morris Racing Team. Cockram came out on top, taking the title and breaking the course record in a time of 33:27, ahead of Evans in 33:35.

LINCOLN 10km, April 16

The local club Lincoln Wellington provided both men’s and women’s section winners as more than 2500 runners closed off the roads at the top of the City, Martin Duff reports.

Whilst Jordan Skelly took the men’s race in 30:19 it was 10th placed Abbie Donnelly who stole the show. The multi-European and world cross-country championship runner not only retained her Lincoln title, but did so in a personal best 31:42.

This beat the 26-year-old’s 32:52 from last year and was her fifth successive victory in the race, which was hers for the first time in 2017.

Donnelly was third in this year’s BUCS championship before travelling to Australia for the World Championship where she finished a fine 24th.

These followed a ninth spot in the European championship.

Men’s winner Skelly was well outside his 29:27 best set in Manchester last month and found that his 30:19 here was just enough to see off a challenge from Lewis Jagger.
