Controversy in Edinburgh with disappointed masters losing out on record chances plus news of Assembly league and Yorkshire Masters event in our latest UK road and multi-terrain round-up

BLAST SCOTTISH MILE (INC BMAF Championships, Edinburgh, June 4

World masters 1500m champion David Proctor, a 1:50.35 800m performer last year, was clearly the fastest male master with 4:16 though relative youngster Finlay Murray was quicker with 4:12 in the open race.

The open race also provided the fastest woman with German Margot Wyrwoll quickest with 5:07.

The fastest master woman was W35 Laura Haggarty with 5:10.

The event controversially switched directions to make the most of the following wind and being point to point was ineligible for record purposes although the BMAF incorrectly listing Fiona Matheson’s time from the event last year, which was publicised by the organisers, led some to believe that records could be set.

W60 Matheson went faster this year with 5:24 to finish almost 200 metres clear of Lucy Woolhouse but the UK masters record remains just 6:06.

Also missing out on a record were M55 Andrew Ridley, who ran 4:35 compared to John Thomson’s 4:48. Thomson won the M60 race here in 5:13, well inside Nigel Gates’ 5:20 record.

Also missing out on a record was W75 Angela Copson who ran 6:57 compared to Anne Martin’s 7:39.

M70 Ed Norton (5:34) was another to miss out and like many of the other gold medallists would have bettered the previous record (5:47) even if the course had been out and back.

YORKSHIRE VETERANS’ ROAD RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS, Holmfirth, North Yorkshire, June 4

A new course at Cartworth Moor proved popular as 83 teams completed the three-stage event, split across nine age groups, Martin Duff reports.

There was a five-year M35 age group which attracted 12 teams and Barnsley, who had their middle runner Scott Hinchcliffe, the county vets cross-country champion for the past two years, post the fastest leg of the day at 14:46, in their victory.

City of Leeds were champions of the traditional M40-49 age group, with their Mike Burrett, the England Masters cross-country international, quickest with 15:33, albeit sharing the time with Simon Courtney of Stadium Runners.

St Theresa’s led from the start of the M50-59 age group event but the fastest lap went elsewhere, to Knavesmere’s D Smithers, with a 16:03 clocking.

Harrogate’s Darren West, the county vets cross-country champion, was quickest of the over-60 runners with 16:57, whilst Bryan Parkinson was fastest of the M70 runners ahead of his two Bingley team mates, with 21:39.

Knavesmere won a keenly contested women’s W35-44 contest, from Stadium runners and it was equally tight for the fastest lap as Holmfirth’s Helena Croft, with 17:43, just got the medal from Rotherham’s Sarah Lowery by a tick.

It was her team mate Adele Marsden who was comfortably fastest of the over-45 women but her final stage 19:20 split was not enough to prevent a Penistone victory.

Sue Cordingley, the 2019 British & Irish Masters cross-country international champion, gave Bingley a first ratestart in the W55 event and her 18:39 was easily the fastest as her club won the section by more than two minutes.

The oldest women’s age group saw new member Diane Baldwin d0 the same for Holmfirth’s W65s after moving north from Milton Keynes.

ASSEMBLY LEAGUE, Crystal Palace, London, June 1

The 2022 British Masters champion Ed Chuck fought off a challenge from Jake Simmons to win over a hilly two-lap course similar to the parkrun circuit but Simmonds’ Kent AC came out comfortably on top but they were even more dominant in the women’s race as they took six of the top seven places.

International 50km runner and former Kent cross-country champion Amy Clements, fighting her way back to fitness after maternity leave, led most of the way but ended up third as she was caught by clubmate Katie Rowland who finished five seconds ahead of another ex county champion Bryony Proctor. A third former Kent senior winner Clare Elms was fifth and first over-50.

Cameron Dockerill led St Albans Striders to a team victory in the second race of the series, Martin Duff reports.
