NORTH WEST ROAD RELAYS, Manchester, September 9
Heaton Park played host, with the younger age groups running on an out and back course and the seniors a lap, in this multi-county championship event, Martin Duff reports.
Just as in the 2022 races, Vale Royal were the first team home in both senior mens and womens races although they had to come from behind to take the mens even but it was all pretty close.
Blackburn had led after the first mens lap thanks to English National cross-country 11th placer Mathew Ramsden and his time was only bettered by his clubs anchor runner Daniel Bebbington, the Lancashire cross-country champion.
However, with a more consistent quartet, the holders finally triumphed, thanks to Arun Dight overtaking Salford, who had taken the lead on the penultimate stage thanks to Harry Wakefields third best time, on the final stage.
Vale Royal also retained their senior womens title after Abigail Howarths fastest overall lap time had given them a first stage lead, before Sarah Dufor-Jackson and Holly Weedall stretched their winning margin out to nearly two minutes.
With the various counties holding their own events within the race, winners were spread well around in the younger age groups and only Liverpool Harriers had two overall wins.
Wirrals under-17 men were back in fifth after their opener, but, came through for an easy victory but fastest laps went elsewhere. It was Liverpools Oscar Kewley who had posted the quickest time on the first stage but his club were a man short overall.
Warrington led the under-17 womens race early on thanks to Esme Heaveys fastest stint of 7:08, but they lost out on the anchor leg as Darcy Slattery came through for Salford.
Liverpool took the under-15 girls race as Holly Cross was fastest over the 1.5km out and back route with 7:02, as team mates Molly Carvel and Rebecca Murphy completed the top three fastest times.
Tim Ye led off for Trafford in the under-15 boys event and his club led throughout with his first leg rivals Max Taylor and Will Delamere joining him on the podium with the fastest lap times.
The under-13 girls race saw the Warriors Pentathlon & Athletic club come from behind for a comfortable victory thanks to the prolific racing Beddow twins Eve and Isobels two fastest legs.
Eves 7:19 time was only headed by one under-13 boy as Lucas Guyett anchored Liverpools winning under-13 boys team to victory with a 7:11 split.

WELSH ROAD RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS, Llanelli, September 9
Pembury National Park again hosted the championship and Swansea Harriers with their Dewi Griffiths the fastest overall with a 17:05 split for the 5.4km lap, Martin Duff reports.
Their team manager George Edwards said: The race was a walk-over because our A team was Dewi, Jon Hopkins, Daffyd Jones and Jon Butler. whose pb of 14.20 was the slowest 5km runner in the team.
The Swansea club put four teams in the first eight to finish and Edwards added: Dewi is not long over Covid and has a muscle strain and hadnt run all week. We were well clear after John Hopkins ran the first leg, then just moved further and further in front.
Cardiff chased forlornly with their fastest, Lloyd Shepherd-Brown, running 17:16 on the fourth and final leg but his chase was in vain.
The womens race followed much the same pattern as Caryl Edwards (nee Jones), continuing a steady comeback, ran fastest of the day on the first stage, with 19:38 ahead of Ponypridds Olivia Tsim.
Swansea then continued with Hannah Williams, Kate Roberts and Sioned Howells. Edwards added: It was not much of a race really.
He was also less than complementary about the race timing on the day saying: Welsh Athletics just cant organise relay time-keeping. To think that four oldies with pens and paper used to produce spot-on results in the TVH relays with upwards of 150 teams all those years ago and produce them quickly.

SURREY ROAD RELAY CHAMPIONSHIP, Wimbledon, September 9
Guildford & Godalming moved up from third last year to take the six runner mens championship after leading from the get go, Martin Duff reports.
It was Cameron Reilly with a 14:23 split for the approximate 2.8-mile opening lap up Church Hill and then down on the back road before finishing where it started on the Wimbledon Park track, who set them up by coming home in second place. This was behind Holland Sports Jack Kavanaghs 14:05, the second-best time of the day.
Guildford then built on their advantage which stretched to well over two minutes at the tape, when fourth fastest overall Tom Foster ran 14;28. Reillys time then stood up as the third best of the afternoon, behind Herne Hills fast improving Sam Branwells 13:56 on stage two.
Second placed Belgrave might have kept the margin lower if they had run the former fastest leg runner in this event, Phil Wicks, in their A team. The now 39-year-old ran 14:42 after battling years of leg injuries.
Guildford also fielded new veteran Andy Coley-Maud in their winning line up and the 40-year-old returned to anchor his clubs vets team as they added the over-40 title as well. His time there was, however, narrowly headed by South Londons Richard McDowalls 15:18.
Belgrave retained their womens four-stage title with a time more than two minutes quicker than in 2022. They started with Stephanie Hewitt, whose 17:04 was the second best of the day and, after throwing in Rotherhams Surrey qualified Sophie Cowper mid-race, whose 17:09 was third best, wound up winners by more than two minutes over Herne Hill.
It was 19-year-old Suzy Lecoutre who used her track speed to just edge home ahead on stage one for Guildford and her 17:03 was quickest overall.
Herne Hills recently crowned National W50 1500m champion Nikki Sturzaker was the fastest in the W35 relay and her 17:06 was only three seconds slower than the senior best.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY & YA ROAD RELAYS, Hayes, September 10
With the weather very hot and very humid and with no shade anywhere on the course, the distances in the younger age groups were reduced, Martin Duff reports.
While the under-15 and under-13s had reasonable entries, the seniors and older age groups attracted very few clubs.
The English National under-15 cross-country champion Jorjia March had a busy afternoon. After firstly setting the fastest 1.5km lap time in the under-15 girls event, the English Schools 800m second placer made a guesting appearance in the under-17 event where she ran 10:36 for the two laps.
