QUAYSIDE 3km / 5km, Gateshead, August 9

Scott Beattie and Heather Townsend  stormed to sensational victories, both setting new course records in the process and taking home a share of the 1,000 prize purse which includes course record bonuses.

Following the mens race, Beattie said that he was glad that Martin Musyoka set out hard and I was glad it slowed down after that. Right from the start, three athletes broke away from the rest of the field, including Beattie as well as Kenyan athletes Martin Musyoka and Paul Selian who two weeks ago set a new course record at the RunThrough Battersea Park Half-Marathon.

It was then not long into the race that Selian had to drop off the pace of Beattie and Musyoka and be absorbed by the pack, with the pace being as fast as it was. From that stage, Beattie was content to sit on the heels on Musyoka for the entirety of the 2.5km out to the turnaround and the majority of the time after they had made the turn. Beattie made his move with approximately 500m to go with Musyoka not able to try to go with him having started to fatigue from the 3km mark.

Beattie came across the finish line in a final time of 13:46, smashing the previous course record of 14:10 by Calum Johnson followed by Musyoka who came home in 13:53 and Carl Averys 14:14.

The womens race was even closer than the mens, with the top three women only being separated by 10 seconds as they crossed the finish line. It was Heather Townsend who took the victory and a new course record of 16:19 shaving a single second off the previous course record of 16:20 by Danielle Hodgkinson.

Following the race, Townsend said Im really really happy, its a big PB for me, with her previous best mark being 16:54. She added: I was petrified at the start because it was so narrow but the marshals were amazing.

Behind Townsend, it was Sophie Pikett who finished in second in a time of 16:25 and Elisha Tait rounding out the podium in a time of 16:29.

Outside of the mens and womens elite races, across the 5km A and B as well as the 3km junior race, the event attracted a total of just under 1000 people of all levels and abilities to the Quayside as well as a strong crowd of supporters.

Chris Parr, Quayside Race Director, commented: We are absolutely over the moon with the support for all of the runners in the event on Wednesday and we were treated to some incredible performances.
