Tom Aldred finished 12 seconds after that to finish 4th overall, followed by Andy Barnes. Martin Potter and Pete Crockford ran well to finish first in their age groups, with Pete awarded the county gold medal. Other county medals in the men’s race were awarded to Seyfu (bronze), Tom Aldred (gold, V40), Martin Potter (silver V50) and Gavin Evans (bronze V50).

And Tony Killilea achieved his first gold medal in the Steeplechase at the British Masters in Birmingham.
