SCOTT’S MIDWEEK LEAGUE, Division 1, Race 1, Stevenage 10km, May 11

After a significant absence due to the pandemic this popular midweek league got underway again and did so whilst in competition with its neighbour the East Midlands GP, Martin Duff reports.

Leading the men home was Thomas Webb with a 50-metre margin of victory over Oliver Hill in 31:25. This would have been a personal best for the North Herts runner who only began running seriously in 2017 but the course was later adjudged to be just six miles.

Women’s race winner Megan Wilson was timed at 34:54, a time which would still be intrinsically better than her 36:38 10km best, which dates from 2018. The 27-year-old’s victory was by more than a minute over Cyn Cano, who was also in new territory whilst running better than her 10km best of 39:14, after only being recorded as starting running at the end of 2018
